Aryaan Shaikh, a 17-year-old student from St Olave's Grammar School, expressed frustration over the closure of Crofton Road following a crash, which affected many commuters. He pointed out that the road serves as a vital route for multiple schools and local businesses. Recent incidents highlight the need for improvements to ensure safety due to the frequency of accidents. Shaikh urged the Highways Agency to acknowledge persistent issues such as poor visibility and inadequate safety measures, calling for substantial changes in road design and enforcement to prevent future problems.
As someone who relies on this route daily, I've had enough. Crofton Road isn't just any street - it's the main artery serving multiple schools and local businesses.
The Highways Agency must stop treating these crashes as isolated incidents. There's clearly a problem with this stretch of road - whether it's poor visibility, dangerous junctions, or inadequate safety measures.
Every time there's an incident, and there are too many, the knock-on effects are massive. Today proved that yet again.
We need proper solutions now - better road design, stricter enforcement, or both. Because next time, it might not just be disrupted mornings we're dealing with, but something far worse.
