Brightening the Path: A Campaign for Safer Rugby Tunnel Lighting
A campaign has sparked a much-needed transformation for a busy tunnel, addressing long-standing safety concerns.
Mill Road tunnel, conveniently located near Rugby railway station in Warwickshire, is a bustling thoroughfare for a diverse range of users. It's a daily passage for drivers, pedestrians, and parents navigating with their little ones in tow. However, this tunnel has been a source of worry, earning the label of being 'hazardous' and fraught with potential dangers.
The tunnel's reputation for hazardous conditions and near-miss accidents has been a pressing issue for the community. John Slinger, the MP for Rugby, has been at the forefront of this campaign. Over several months, he persistently raised the matter with the local council, Network Rail, and on social media. His efforts were fueled by the concerns of his constituents and his own personal experiences, solidifying his determination to bring attention to this critical safety issue.
