Trafford Council admit they forgot 'New Road Layout' Signs
5 Dec 2025
Following the success of the petition signed by 600 residents, Timperley has a new pelican crossing. Lots of people have approached me to say it's a benefit.
But there has been a debate about the number of drivers zooming through without stopping and why this happens.
I read all the comments I could find. We cannot make bad drivers disappear, but I reckon there are three things we can actually ask the Council to fix. So I raised a Formal Question to the Council's Executive to ask:
- Fixing the Vehicle Activated Sign outside St Georges was promised as part of this – why isn't it done?
- Why are there no signs saying "New Road Layout Ahead" on the approach?
- Are the street lights bright enough to see waiting pedestrians at night?
All these are now going to be looked at and fixed – hopefully soon.
