Traffic lights at crossing of Malden Road Cheam
The undersigned demand a full enquiry into safety matters at the junction of Malden Road and Chatsworth Road in Cheam, Sutton. Serious risks are faced by children and adults crossing at this point, either to access the two schools in Chatsworth Road or to enter the park at the end of Popinjay's Row. A serious accident has already happened at this point. A zebra crossing is inadequate and traffic calming measures and a pelican crossing are required to prevent a fatality at this junction.
