A campaign by residents and local Lib Dem Councillors of Lockhaugh, near Rowlands Gill, for a puffin crossing on the main road has taken a big step forward.
Consultants appointed by the council to look at improvements to the main Swalwell to Rowlands Gill road are recommending that a crossing be introduced.
"The council will have to take a decision on the recommendation and find the money for the crossing," said Councillor Brenda Osborne, who has been fighting for the improvement since she was first elected six years ago.
"Whilst it is not guaranteed that a crossing will get the go ahead, we now have the important backing of the consultants' report that shows it is needed.
"This is a big step forward for the campaign and Councillor Andrew Graham and I will be keeping up the pressure to get this crossing installed."
