Pedestrian Crossings

The request was partially successful.

Dear Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council,

I am looking into finding out about the location of pedestrian crossings in Tameside Council. Please could you provide me with the following:

1) A list of all the different pedestrian crossings within Tameside Council boundaries. Including the location of all formal crossings: Zebra, Toucan, Pegasus, Staggered Pelican/Puffin and Toucan crossings.

2) Information on the type of tactile paving used at each site.

3) A list of all lowered kerbs in the Tameside Council district. Showing the location of each and paying particular attention to the ones intended for use as pedestrian crossing points.

4) The above would ideally include the use of the Geocoordinate system information of each site, but also the street name and location.

The information will be used to provide a complete map of the District to aid in the navigation of Tameside Council for people with limited mobility or requiring the use of a wheelchair.

Yours faithfully,

Evan Howle
