I hardly ever start posts here and yet here I am, 2 in less than an hour!

Cheltenham says no to Pride crossing... cos it' too expensive, and they had a lot of negative comments about the one in Gloucester.

So, how will Pride people manage to cross the road without a rainbow?

Hopefully, it's a metaphor.

Yeah. The Gloucester one looks grotty too. As it is GCC that has refused the Cheltenham one I am guessing it won't be refurbished either. Just be left to fade away!

Ours are looking distinctly manky after being down a few years.

Good to see that evidence and facts are finally being prioritised. These crossings are bloody dangerous for sight impaired people and others.
