FOWS campaign for improved pedestrian safety

You may have seen the article in this week’s Salford Advertiser (”Campaigners fight for a safe crossing”) reporting on our recent meeting with Salford Council planners and the Walkden Road Traders Group to discuss road safety improvements around the Walkden Road/Park Road accident blackspot.
