A pedestrian crossing in Salford has received a new makeover that honours the LGBTQ+ community after a request from a local resident.<\/p>\n
The puffin crossing outside the University of Salford received a paint job in pride colours after Salford resident Kevin DeVulder started a petition.<\/p>\n
Kevin thought the new crossing would be a great way to recognise the LGBTQ+ community in Salford and help brighten the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought what a wonderful idea it would be if we could get a rainbow crossing at that location,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just adds a bit of colour to the area as well. <\/p>\n
“It wasn\u2019t just about being an LGBTQ+ thing, for a lot of people, just having that little bit of brightness, especially with Covid-19 and with everything that has been going on, puts a smile on someone\u2019s face.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
I thought it was such a wonderful idea that we didn\u2019t need to wait<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nSalford resident Kevin DeVulder with the crossings <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The request was put through as a petition in July, and attracted the attention of Salford Councillor Sharmina August.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI thought it was such a wonderful idea that we didn\u2019t need to wait.<\/p>\n
“We didn\u2019t need to wait until the petition closed and just picked it up straight away because I thought it was what the city needed right now and a show of solidarity and love and pride.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin has even bigger suggestions for the area for the traffic island on The Cresent to commemorate Salford.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy idea is to try and put something there which would allow people who live in Salford to put their own stamp in the area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The project hopes to include the work of university students and local businesses to bring the city together.<\/p>\n
Kevin added: \u201cThe community spirit needs to be reflected and I can\u2019t think of a better way to do that. It brings all those bits and piece of Salford together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
