“Hopefully doing this now will prevent further tragedy in the future.”
A 20mph zone will be introduced on a “lethal” road in Oldham following the tragic deaths of two cyclists. Stamford Road in Lees is due to receive a new speed limit and a number of traffic calming measures to reduce the risk of further accidents.
Local councillor Mark Kenyon, who helped campaign for the new safety measures, said: “Since two recent deaths at the junction with Huddersfield Road, we’ve been trying to get something done. We’ve managed to address the speed across the whole road, which is a real result for the people of Grotton, Springhead and Lees.”
Only a year later, 43-year-old mother Louise Harrott was struck by a Range Rover, suffering fatal injuries and leaving behind a 17-year-old son and a devastated mother. The driver, Patricia Golden, was later found guilty of careless driving. The new road rules, approved at a Traffic Regulation Order Panel on March 14, will introduce an upper limit of 20mph along the whole road. Right-hand turns from Dunham St onto Huddersfield Rd and from Huddersfield Rd onto Dunham St will be banned, forcing all traffic to use the main junction from Stamford Rd onto Huddersfield Rd.
