Protecting and enhancing the built and natural environment of Lee, South-East London
The new zebra crossing on Fernbrook Road, at the junction with Manor Lane, is operational. It links up with another new one across Manor Lane. Together they replace the “lollipop” crossing patrol which has been withdrawn.
The two crossings are designed to create a route for schoolchildren from the Hither Green (west) side of Manor Lane to the Lee Manor (east) side.
Work has started a new zebra crossing at the top of Fernbrook Road where it meets Manor Lane. Lewisham Council agreed to install the crossing, which links up with another new one across Manor Lane, after the regular ‘lollipop patrol’ was made redundant as part of the council’s economy measures.
The crossing is expected to be operational by the beginning of next week, just in time for the second half of the school term.
