Parliamentary candidate Stuart Anderson supports local campaign for road crossing in Leebotwood.
Stuart Anderson recently met with local campaigners Rebecca Hill and Charles Baker to discuss the need for a road crossing in Leebotwood.
The campaign has been gathering pace as a petition, signed by 300 local residents, has been submitted to National Highways for the building of a pedestrian crossing along the A49 in Leebotwood. Stuart Anderson, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for South Shropshire, has gone to meet local campaigners to understand the local campaign and see for himself the need for a crossing. Stuart heard about the safety concerns of school children and families crossing the busy road every day when getting the bus.
Stuart joins the campaign already supported by current Ludlow MP Philip Dunne and Burnell Councillor Dan Morris.
Stuart Anderson says,
“I was pleased to meet Rebecca and Charles and hear about the local campaign which they have been putting a tremendous amount of effort towards. I am delighted to add my support to this mission to help residents in Leebotwood secure improved safety and accessibility in their local village.”
“I will work closely with local Councillor Dan Morris, who has already raised this campaign with National Highways, to make sure that local residents’ voices are heard.”
Leebotwood is in the Burnell Ward, which will become part of the South Shropshire parliamentary constituency at the next general election as one of two wards (with Severn Valley) added to the old Ludlow constituency.
