Hi Alan,

Thanks for sharing David's email, though not the answer I was looking for.  Firstly, can you confirm what he means by "modelling work?"  Is this in relation to the re-routing of traffic down Brownlow and closing the rat routes of Warwick and York? 

If this is the case, my main concern is that it could take another 2 years, if not more, to make any significant changes to reduce the dangers to crossing school children. He already highlights that there is little, if no, funding available.

Secondly, I really disagree with his point ..."signs are unlikely to have much impact on either the volume or speed of traffic".  If that is the case, why do most councils put up such signs in the vicinity of schools?  At least drivers whizzing down Warwick Rd to get onto the N. Circular are made aware that children are crossing the Rd. If there are no signs, how will they know?  The volume of traffic is another matter and not one that I'm trying to resolve in the short term. 

I'd appreciate your thoughts on how we might lobby the right people to reignite the zebra crossing point, and/or what other measures we could pursue to get the same outcome e.g a lollipop lady? 

thanks for your support, Alan

Clare
