The last time I posted about The Killer Crossing was, incredibly, three years ago almost to the day. The big news then was that nothing could be done to improve it until at least April 2009. Before that, I'd rashly predicted that "change is at last on its way." Hmm. Well, now it really, really does look as though it really, really is. Transport for London even have a diagram on their website. This proves that neither I nor my camera have been imagining things. You'll see from the diagram that the works are scheduled to be completed at the end of March. Oh, happy day.

Bit slow on the news, Dave. We announced this was happening before Christmas when we ran a small campaign to ensure TfL did get on with it!

I'm sorry you're dissatisfied with the service, Councillor. Why not try asking for your money back?

Dave - or of course he could do a better job at letting local bloggers know about news they might want to cover :-)

I first complained about this crossing in 1997 so it's only taken them 14 years to do something...

Hmm. Worryingly, if you look at the TFL map, 2 of the signs show up as 'Works cancelled'...

Very glad to hear this. I wrote to the council about five years ago on this appalling crossing, and have repeatedly harried councillors - as I'm sure many many others have also done – and had more or less given up hope

Personally I don't see how the crossing is any safer than it was before - is there a plan for an actual crossing for pedestrians ? I have a new born and a toddler and feel I take their lives into my own hands every time I cross - which is several times a day ! Pinny Crane

What IS happening? When I crossed at this crossing last Friday night it was as bad as ever.
