If drivers can't see the multiple lights, signs and warnings regarding the bollards how can we be sure they will see barriers? It could result in smashed car roof and windscreens instead

QUOTE (On the edge @ May 3 2018, 10:19 PM)  That doesn't explain why the road had to be closed. After all, several primary schools in the vicinity have main entrances on even busier roads. Then there is Park House! Logic isn't exactly WBCs strongest suit! Maybe it was because there would be so many kids walking back and forth to the astroturf pitches (Hockey and football?) opposite the school main entrance throughout the day that it was safer just to restrict traffic rather than continue to allow passing traffic. Not many schools have their playing fields separated from the 'school grounds' with a road running through the middle so when the opportunity was there to close it off and make a safer environment it was taken. Streetview Access to the Park House sports fields is to the rear of the school isn't it? Same with St Barts and Kennet Schools |

Same with St Barts and Kennet Schools Access to/from the astroturf is across the road at a point where it is still open to all traffic (albeit the car park access). Trinity's playing fields are the same as those of Shaw House School and on the other side of Love Lane to the north of the school. The sports hall had not even been considered when WBDC went ahead with the road restrictions |
