You may remember one of our children was injured crossing Vineyards Road in late 2023 while attending a weekend PTA event. Since then, I have been pressing our councillor to improve safety further. I am pleased to report the following actions have now been prioritised:

 

• New bend signs on the approach to the school x 2 locations
• New existing signs upgraded reducing sign clutter all on one sign x 2 locations within the 30-mph limit
• New vergemasters outside the school and other locations throughout
• Refresh of existing road markings within the 30-mph limit
• Refresh of existing and new school sign road marking within the 30-mph limit
• Refresh of existing school Keep Clear within the 30-mph limit
• Additional new slow markings within the 30-mph limit
• New school sign within the 30-mph limit

 

A pledge has also been made to complete a 'speed and volume study of traffic', reviewing the speed limit.
