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 2 2018, 06:35 PM)  What's the precident for that? Parkway bridge is a public road closed to the public. Worse, Church Road, Shaw, which the residents actually fought (1909) a High Court action to keep open is also closed to the public. Then there is Jack Street; which was given away and private security tells you what to do. The Council decides what's public or not these days. Park Way bridge is open to the public if you're on a bike, on foot, or sat in the back of a bus or taxi. You could say the Severn Bridge is 'closed to the public' unless you happen to have £5.60. Church Road is a bus gate and unless it was there you'd have a lot of cars driving past the front entrance for Trinity School

What a pity those who planned the ne building didn't realise there was a road outside. -------------------- Know your place!

We were forced to move the main entrance to the school by WBC demanding that we give up Shaw House as part of the school buildings/grounds. I was a governor at the opening of Trinity. The suggestion was from the Council that a 'sump breaker' be installed and the pass-through restricted to buses. This was easier and quicker than trying to implement a road closure order. Church Road remains a public Right-of-Way; just restricted for motorised traffic. |
