The pedestrian crossing at a busy junction in Wilmslow town centre is out of order following a road traffic collision at the junction of Water Lane and Alderley Road in the early hours of Tuesday 19th July.
Councillor Rod Menlove has contacted Cheshire East Highways stressing that the crossing needs repairing as a matter of urgency.
A spokesperson from Cheshire East Council responded "Unfortunately the crash did substantial damage to the traffic signals equipment; this included damage to the cabling network. This damage has led
to the pedestrian crossing facilities being 'locked out' and, I believe, the red man being constantly lit.
"We recognise that this is a very busy junction with high pedestrian volumes and in order to get the repairs undertaken as quickly as possible we will be using equipment that had been ordered for other schemes.
"Our supply chain partner will be on site tomorrow in order to undertake all the necessary repair works and they should be completed by the end of the day."
