Pedestrian?

Out canvassing yesterday one point that was brought up was the difficulty people have in getting to Cove Green.
Cove Green is a great facility and is being improved through the works under way at the moment. It does however suffer from a general problem in Farnborough- lack of pedestrian access.
Crossing roads in Farnborough- especially Victoria Road and Farnborough Road can be very time consuming and annoying as there are long gaps between pedestrian crossings and in places iron railings are in the way of the most convenient places to cross- forcing people hundreds of metres out of their way.
This may seem a relatively small issue, pedestrian even, but I think its just the sort of thing that impacts on people's lives in a negative way.
I get about the place by foot or by bike most of the time and know a lot of people who do the same. I think it would be an admirable goal to make Farnborough more pedestrian friendly and to make it easier for people to access our parks and green spaces.
If elected this is something I will work with our ward councillors to achieve
