Accident statistics Anchorsholme Lane

The request was refused by Blackpool Borough Council.

Dear Blackpool Borough Council,
After witnessing another accident at the junction of Anchorsholme Lane East and Kelso Avenue this evening I feel, as this has happened on numerous occasions, I must request you furnish me with information regarding all previous accidents at this junction.
I moved to Anchorsholme Lane East 6 years ago and telephoned highways to raise my concerns regarding the lights at this junction after just 6 months as I had witnessed 4 accidents within this time!! Since then this is a regular occurrence and whilst I appreciate the fault is driver error having to negotiate the tram tracks and the only give way sign being the white road markings on the ground I feel this needs to be addressed.
This is a dangerous junction which was created when the trams had right of way and many right turn junctions were blocked.
Please advise if I need to apply to the police for their attendance to such incidents before taking my concern further.

Yours faithfully,
Erica Woods
