Unsafe place for pedestrians to cross

I am the local district councillor, for this area concerned. The lights at this junction are not fit for purpose. Residents from the new housing development adjacent to the junction, are concerned about their safety and the safety of their children crossing the A5 to gain access to School and to local areas. In addition to these concerns and complaints, there is no provision for individuals who are elderly or disabled to cross the road safely. The current climate conditions are about encouraging people to walk more and drive less, but this junction is blocking local residents from walking and instead using cars as they are too worried to try and dodge the heavy traffic, coming in all directions making this road crossing for pedestrians dangerous leap across the road, which is impossible with small children in tow. (issue as been present since construction layout, new housing estates means an upgrade is needed ASAP- to avoid death )
