Pedestrian crossing improvement on the way

Pedestrian crossing

New equipment and better for the environment – it's going to happen in Burgh Le Marsh.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “It’s terrific news that we can deliver this improvement to the people of Burgh Le Marsh.

“The current signal equipment has reached the end of its operational life and spare parts are becoming difficult to source, so we’re making adjustments to bring the crossing up to current standards. 

“The pedestrian crossing will become the near-side Puffin type and the new signal equipment will be extra-low voltage, which will reduce the carbon footprint due to the reduced power consumption. 

“We will keep any disruption the minimum possible throughout these works and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding whilst we carry out this improvement for the area.”

Dates and times

The works will begin on Thursday, September 21 and have a planned end date of Wednesday, October 11, subject to suitable weather. The work will be carried out from 07.00 - 17.00, Monday to Friday.
