The Headteacher and parents of the Castle Wood Academy informed Members of the safety issues with regards to lack of signage, speed limits and on street parking before and after school.

 

RESOLVED to support the principle of the measures suggested by the school and parents and to put forward a suite of measures to LCC for their consideration, effectively creating a ‘school safety zone’, namely:

• 20mph speed limit to be in place during the hours of 8am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 4.30pm along The Avenue commencing prior to the Leisure Centre car park exit and to extend beyond the school entrance
• Extension of the current ‘school keep clear’ markings to the Leisure Centre exit and extending to the brow of the hill in the opposite direction
• School Crossing patrol to be implemented
• Creation of a zebra crossing over the Avenue for pedestrian traffic
• Signage to be improved and expanded from existing which is 1 x warning sign sited at the school entrance

 

 

Note: Councillor Clews and 6 Members of the public left the meeting.

 

 

1. North Street – School crossing patrol site

 

Members considered the email received from the LCC Road Safety (Accident Investigation) Manager regarding the school crossing patrol on North Street.

 

RESOLVED to respond as follows:

Suggest that a combination of options 1 and 4 are considered, namely move the SCP to the existing island refuge and remark the carriage way accordingly.

In addition improve existing signage and consider the addition of flashing amber lights to alert drivers to the SCP during times of operation. Body worn cameras for SCP personnel to support the issuing of penalties for ‘drive throughs’.
