Rosie Greaves described the traumatic moment of a vehicle crash outside St Stephen's C of E Primary School, saying, 'The man's eyes were closed, there was no swerving to avoid us. It was pure chance that we weren't completely mowed down.' This emphasizes the high stakes of the current safety concerns.
Laura Kerry, who spearheaded the campaign, stated, 'It feels like an accident hotspot. Everyone you speak to says it's an accident waiting to happen; as in a fatality waiting to happen,' illustrating the urgent need for safety improvements at the junction.
Greaves voiced despair over the continued danger, saying, 'So often those railings are down; there's been a crash into them. Because it's right outside a school, you think it's only a matter of time before somebody is killed, and probably a child.' This reveals the immediate risk to children in the area.
Despite the proposal for safety improvements, a Transport for London spokesperson noted, 'While safety remains a priority, resources are currently focused on areas with higher collision rates.' This highlights the challenges faced by local advocates in ensuring immediate action.
