CHILDREN recreated the iconic Beatles Abbey Road album cover to celebrate the opening of a new zebra crossing.

The crossing near outside Broomfield School, New Southgate, will help stem the flow of traffic and make it safer for pupils.

Peter Travis, headteacher: said “Broomfield School has been working with Enfield Council for some time to help improve road safety in the local area.

“Wilmer Way is a fast moving road, as many cars leave the A406 at speed, and we really needed a safe and visible crossing that not only pupils and parents can use, but indeed the whole community.

“We are really delighted that it is now in place and we hope everyone will ‘Come Together’ and use this crossing.”

Cllr Ayfer Orhan, who is responsible for education at Enfield Council, said: “Back in 1969 when The Beatles were photographed in Abbey Road there were a lot less cars around than there are now, so road safety is now higher than ever on the agenda.

“The safety of our students is a top priority. Not only will this zebra crossing allow staff, pupils and other residents to cross this road safely, but it will help to slow traffic on this busy residential road.”

Enfield Council has implemented a number of road safety schemes, such as 20 mph speed limits, parking restrictions and other traffic calming measures around schools.
