While they are at it, if they really do care about child safety they need to do something about the buses collecting children. Neither school should have been given planning permission to extend without building off road bus stops.
Stop planting trees on the land between the road and the schools and build off road bus stops!
Neil......you talk good common sense, but planners do not have this perspective......which is a shame. These measures would do more to ensure child safety than all the 20MPH signs in the world.

After all, if these speed limits are not enforced,(which they don't appear to be) then they are no better than doing nothing.
