Manchester’s Labour Council has a policy of putting pedestrians first, then cyclists and users of public transport, followed by car users. To achieve this we have seen a significant increase in pedestrian crossings, traffic calming measures and traffic islands in Chorlton in recent years.
The speed bumps and junction platforms on Oswald Road have recently been resurfaced to make them safer and more visible for motorists. Part of Oswald Road and Longford Road will soon become a 20 mph zone as they are near both Oswald Road and St John’s primary schools. This follows the creation of 20 mph zones near Chorlton High School and Chorlton C of E Primary Schools. All schools are encouraged to develop school travel plans to promote walking and cycling to school.
Councillor Sheila Newman says “As a local resident, parent and school governor I am very concerned about road safety, especially for parents taking their children to school. I want to see 20 mph zones near all schools and eventually in all residential roads in Chorlton.”
