New pedestrian crossing boosts road safety for all
Rochdale Observer
|June 25, 2025
A NEW pedestrian crossing has been unveiled on a busy road in Middleton in a major safety boost for the area.
-
The new crossing in Oldham Road, close to Warwick Mill, is part of a wider safety drive, which will see a new pedestrian crossing created in each township, using investment from Transport for Greater Manchester.
And the crossing is already reaping benefits for local schoolchildren from the nearby St Peter's RC Primary School.
Headteacher Joanne Clinch said: “This road is incredibly busy; so much so that when we take the children to Middleton Arena for their swimming lessons, we used to hire a coach to get there, as we didn’t feel confident safely taking an entire year group across this road.
