LETTER: Oving crossing is a necessity
That was what I believed until I attended a Highways England consultation when it was made clear that this is untrue as it is intended to completely close Shopwyke Road to all traffic.
There will be no entry and no exit between the A27 and Shopwyke Road (actually Oving Road east which then becomes Shopwyke Road) for vehicles and it is intended to erect a footbridge to replace the crossing for pedestrians.

The Oving crossing is a vital necessity. We must save that crossing and its lights.
