Windmill Lane is a narrow traffic-clogged street during school hours. Residents and bus services are finding it increasingly difficult to drive along the street and it is becoming a great risk to the safety of schoolchildren.

Fresh yellow lines being painted, plans for new traffic regulations, greater traffic enforcement and a crossing patrol all form part of our plan to make sure we tackle this issue and keep our children safe travelling to school.
