Following approaches from residents in Kelly House, Leander Road and MHS homes, we were able to arrange for a new dropped kerbs to be sited on Leander Road outside McColls on both sides of the road.
Previously, there was no safe crossing point for wheelchair users as well as mums with prams. As part of the improvement scheme, arrangements were also made to upgrade the crossing points in Orion Road at its junction with Leander Road.
Tactile paving was introduced here for a safer experience for residents who have visual and mobility impairments.
