A GROUP of young girls have launched a community campaign to make a “dangerous” pedestrian crossing in Thorngumbald safer for children and families. The four campaigners – Rosie, Ruby, Summer and Roz – are taking part in the Humberside Police Lifestyle Challenge under the name the Sibling Squad, as they are two pairs of sisters. They are calling for urgent action to improve road safety at the zebra crossing on the A1033 near the Thorngumbald Community Institute, which is located between two busy bus stops. The issue has gained renewed attention following an incident in January 2024 when 11-year-old Alexa Wrightson was hit by a car while walking home from school. Alexa was using the zebra crossing, which residents and campaigners claim is routinely ignored by drivers. Although Alexa was not seriously hurt, she described it as a “scary” experience and said she did not want others to go through the same thing.
