I DO a lot of driving around Bolton town centre and am very concerned about the new pelican crossing on Bridgeman Place. I don't know whether or not it has been hurried since the recent fatal accident or if it was already planned.

Driving down Trinity Street towards the lights at the junction the lights are at the least confusing, and coming from Manchester Road to turn right into Bridgeman Place you can be met with a sudden red light which I'm sure regular drivers will get used to, but many will be suprised by it.

The crossroads in question are very busy, especially with students from the college and I am very worried that sooner rather than later another serious accident will happen caused by something that is supposed to make crossing the road safer.
