Mum appeals for crossing on busy road
11:00am Sunday 21st October 2012 in News By Will Lodge
Natasha Okodiya, with son Malachai, four, and brother Kieran, one, making their way across The Northern Approach Road.
A MUM is calling for a zebra crossing to be installed on a busy Colchester road to make the school run safer.
Natasha Okodiya, 33, lives on a new estate off the Northern Approach Road and crosses the arterial route twice daily to take her son Malachai, four, to Queen Boudica Primary School.
But along with other parents in the same estate Natasha, of Hakewell Way, is forced to use a small traffic island to get across the 40mph stretch.

Are Zebra Crossing safer? I would have thought traffic lights would be better, seems like another oversight by the road planners.
The real xxxdave - there are a number of counselling or support groups which I am sure could help you with your problems, you just need to approach them !!!
