Progress Is Being Made

At last, I can report that there is some progress being made to improve our local roads in St. Annes. Fylde received over £300,00 from Lancashire County Council for some pothole repairs. A list of possible locations was brought before a Lancashire Locals meeeting, and happily, some of the roads I had put forward were to be considered. The list of projects was very long, and there was not enough money to complete them all, but we have gotten a share of the roadworks proposals. During this fiscal year, Albert Road, Warwick Road, Berwick Road, Hope Street, and Park Road will have resurfacing work done. This is very good news indeed. There will also be a new pedestrian crossing on Albany Road near the health centre, which hopefully will help slow traffic in that area, and make that hotspot a little safer for everyone. Traffic calming measures are also being put in place on St. Thomas Road near the school.

I will keep working to improve our roads, get rid of those potholes, and push for resurfacing. With tight budgets, it can get a bit discouraging; but I won't give up. We have made a start, but there is a long way to go; and I will continue to make our voice heard at Lancashire County Council.
