A NEW crossing is being considered in Brampton after a man was hit by a car.
The 24-year-old man was crossing the road at the pedestrian zebra crossing on the junction of Knollbeck Lane and Chapel Avenue when he was hit by a green Vauxhall Corsa.
He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries where he remains but is now in a stable condition.
The incident, at 8.30pm on August 17, prompted a petition and plans for a peaceful protest from residents in the area, who feel speeding vehicles on the road make the crossing no longer suitable for use.

It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.

Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
