Bow Labour councillors have submitted the Fairfield Road safer crossings petitions to City Hall to be heard at a meeting this Thursday 8 March when the Assembly will be discussing the Mayor’s Transport Strategy.

The petition states:
“Residents are concerned about the state of the crossings at the south of Fairfield Road and nearby over Bow Road. Not only is there no signalled crossing at the bottom of Fairfield Road but also, the crossing times over Bow Road, both near Bow Church and near Registry Office are not nearly long enough to get over the crossing in one stage.

We call on Transport for London:

– To establish reasonable crossing times which prioritise pedestrians and cyclists

– To support a safe and signalled crossing at the South of Fairfield Road.”

Assembly Member Unmesh Desai would be happy to meet residents at City Hall.

If anyone would like to join Cllr Rachel Blake to meet Unmesh ahead of the session at 9.45am at City Hall, please let Rachel know (Rachel.Blake@towerhamlets.gov.uk)
