Neal Cooper of Mansfield is meeting with highways officials in Ingoldmells, Lincolnshire to lobby for a permanent pedestrian area along Sea Lane.

It was put in place after his daughter died in at Easter last year.

"I feel I owe it to my daughter and son-in-law to make sure it is safe for other people," he said.

Five fatalities

The county has earmarked almost �400,000 for the scheme, but Mr Cooper fears the work to pedestrianise the area may not go ahead.

He said some people are already ignoring the temporary pedestrian area that is in place.

Mansfield MP Alan Meale said: "We owe a great debt to Mr and Mrs Cooper for the campaign they have started for Ingoldmells.

"Until you see the scale of visitors you see at Ingoldmells, especially on a bank holiday, you can't understand the situation."

Lincolnshire Highways said it would hold a consultation on the future of the road and the results will go before the county council in November.

Some local campaigners say the temporary scheme has caused further traffic problems.
