Residents call for action over junction Save our nhs - PAGE 08
The junction where Bridge Hill, Orchard Street, Low Road, Forge Lane and Station Lane meet has been subject of previous complaints to Sheffield City Council following a number of incidents in which pedestrians and cyclists were injured. A campaign led by Terry Barrow, a local resident and member of Stocksbridge and Upper Don Labour Party, resulted in a petition being presented to a full council meeting earlier this year.
As a result, measures were put in place to stopping drivers parking at the corner of Bridge Hill and Orchard Street. This will make sure that drivers have a clearer view of the junction and adjacent pedestrian crossing. Additional signage will also be placed on Bridge Hill warning drivers of the crossing around the corner. Despite these improvements, residents and road users continue to be concerned about the safety of pedestrians and cyclists at the junction. Campaigners are asking anyone who has been involved in an accident or near-miss at the site to contact Terry Barrow so that she can present this information to
Sheffield City Council’s Head of Transport and Infrastructure. Te r r y B a r r o w o f Sheffield and Upper Don Labour Party said ‘There are real safety issues at this junction. We are campaigning to make sure robust measures are put in place to ensure the safety of all road-users, especially pedestrians and cyclists, who are particularly at risk from cars turning onto the junction from Bridge Hill or Station Lane. This situation will only get worse unless we do something now. There are a number of housing developments planned for the Upper Don Valley, all of which will increase the amount of traffic passing through Oughtibridge.’

A HIGH Green pensioner has praised those who came to the aid of him and his wife after an incident on Tuesday October 24. Anthony Toon, 75, was dropping his wife, 73-year-old Brenda, off on Wortley Road but as she was getting out of the car, she got her foot caught. Anthony recalls “ I heard a scream and when I looked back I could see Brenda laid out in the middle of the road with blood pouring from her head”. Onlookers were quick to Brenda’s aid. Picking her up, sitting her down, getting her a blanket and calling her an ambulance. Anthony and Brenda jointly expressed their gratitude to those who helped “We don’t want to make a big thing of it but we are so grateful to the people that helped us and apologise to all those who were held up in the traffic jam caused by our mishap.” Brenda was taken to hospital and treated for head injuries. She is now revering well at home. She told Look Local when asked about her injuries “ I won’t be going to the hairdressers anytime soon put it that way”
