Ludlow MP Philip Dunne met road safety campaigner and Leebotwood resident Beccy Hill to discuss the A49, along with Acton Burnell councillor Dan Morris. Mr Dunne said:"Dan introduced me to Beccy, who has been raising concerns that Leebotwood is the only village along the A49 in Shropshire without a pedestrian crossing. I will be happy to work with the parish council and Dan as well as my neighbouring MP Daniel Kawczynski to encourage Highways England to consider installing a pedestrian crossing between the bus stops either side of the road adjacent to the village hall.
Mr Morris said: “I was very pleased that Philip responded quickly to my call for help in getting Leebotwood to the same status as every other village along the A49 with a pedestrian crossing. "There is dangerous traffic often travelling above the speed limit and parents are fearful for their children crossing the road when buses drop them off after school."
