Bridge Street school intersection upgrade is in neutral, leaving Tamworth mums concerned they've been 'fobbed off'

Transport for NSW committed to make safety upgrades at the St Joseph's Primary School crossing of the main road in June.

Since then, nothing's happened, according to Kylie Pollard.

A state government spokesperson committed to install pedestrian warning signs "in the coming weeks" and to investigate potential options for further safety upgrades.

The department hasn't even made a phone call since then, Mrs Pollard said.

"A month is a long time to wait when there's obvious issues," she said.

"I think it's really important [to get the upgrade]. It's been an issue for a really long time and I just don't know why they're not doing anything about it."

Both Mrs Pollard and Tamworth West Public School mum Sarah McAlpine are concerned someone could be hit in the wait for action from the state government.

Mrs McAlpine was motivated to campaign for change when she watched in horror as her daughter Emma survived a near-miss at the intersection last year.

"I live three blocks form the intersection and nothing has changed at all. There has been no even indication that anything is going to change," she said.

"I feel like we're getting fobbed off."

She said the risk remain as long as nothing happens.

"That whole areas is just not safe," she said.

"It's only a matter of time before it goes bad - really bad. I'm sort of concerned it is going to be a child."

Transport for NSW was contacted for comment on this story.

The road is a state government responsibility, not a council road.
