To introduce without delay, Pedestrian Safety measures including but not limited to, a raised Zebra crossing for children of Plumtree Primary School, Nottinghamshire, across Main Road/Station Road outside the school.
Why is this important?
The safety of our school children is at serious risk.
It is very difficult for pedestrians to cross this road near the complicated junction where traffic also moves quickly on the approach down Main Road and also down Station Road from Keyworth.
The layout of the staggered crossroads makes pedestrian crossings (typically parents accompanying infant and junior school children) extremely hazardous. Additionally, our own research has shown passing traffic to regularly be exceeding the current limit of 30mph, even at school start and finishing times, which leads the road to be even more perilous for the very young children who cross it so regularly. This is despite current limited traffic calming measures in place.
