It has been brought to the council's attention the problem pupils are having crossing the road during the morning rush.
The junction in question, the Woodhill, Wester Cledden Road T-junction. Wester Cleddens Road is very busy and traffic queuing to join it from Woodhill Road make it almost impossible for pupils to cross safely.
Within minutes large groups of children struggle to stay on the pavement.
The council have promised to investigate and I will let you know the results as soon as I have them.
Meanwhile let's hope it's resolved before any incident occurs.

"Yes, this crossing looks very dangerous, more so in the afternoon when there is a 'rush' of pupils all at the same time. Because of the density of traffic there is no opportunity for kids to cross without having to cross between cars waiting to turn right and cars have to pull up suddenly when turning into Woodhill Road from Wester Cleddens Rd and are confronted with groups of ten or fifteen pupils. The pupils themselves are doing their best, but I wouldn't attempt to cross here at that time of day as an adult.
We're still waiting - I understand that the council are investigating. Let's hope they don't take too long.
Now a month later and nothing has been done....
