Safety concerns have escalated at a pedestrian crossing on Bristol Road in Stonehouse, with parents escorting children to a nearby nursery reporting alarming near-miss incidents. Motorists have been observed running red lights at the crossing leading to Avenue Terrace, raising fears among local residents. Town Councillor Simon Macgregor highlighted the dangers, emphasizing that this four-lane stretch of road is particularly difficult to cross due to the absence of a central refuge island.
