Proposal, June 2015

We have been successful in a bid to Transport for London (TfL) to fund accessibility improvements across the Borough. To improve pedestrian safety and accessibility to the Morden First School in Green Lane it is proposed to introduce a zebra pedestrian crossing on the existing uncontrolled crossing in Central Road northeast of Green Lane. This will reduce the risk of personal injury and provide a safer environment for pedestrians, facilitating those attending the Morden First School.

To safely introduce the crossing, certain alterations to the road layout in the vicinity will be required. These include removal of the existing islands and bollards. This will ensure that suitable visibility is provided for pedestrians and approaching vehicles.
