She said that she uses the park every afternoon and where she crosses, near the entrance to the park’s car park although there are dropped kerbs, there is no central reservation to break the journey across the carriageway, which is a very busy road. She is often forced to rush and as she walks with a crutch this is difficult. This afternoon she fell whilst trying to cross quickly as an approaching car appeared to have no intention of slowing.
