Carla Lockhart MP has shared her delight to announce that Gibson's Hill has been added to the list for a Controlled Crossing assessment, following a lengthy lobbying effort. This assessment will be carried out soon, marking a significant step towards the provision of a much-needed pedestrian crossing.
