Safety boost at Spondon level crossing
A level crossing awareness event was held yesterday in Derby to improve safety for vehicles driving across the railway.
The event was held by local councillors and Network Rail at Spondon level crossing, which is “notorious” for cars speeding on the approach to the crossing and driving on the wrong side of the road to access the nearby housing estate.
Liz Ready, community safety manager for Network Rail said: “We take level crossing safety very seriously and I’d like to thank everyone that got involved in our level crossing awareness event yesterday, it was a huge success. We received a positive response from drivers and pedestrians alike.
“Network Rail will continue to work with Derby City Council to improve visibility and safety of our crossings as well as working with the local community and schools to raise awareness of railway and level crossing safety.”
