Compass Point Primary in Bedminster is working with our local
councillors Tessa Fitzjohn (Green Party) and Mark Bradshaw (Labour) to make South
Street a safer environment for children, families and local residents.
We are developing a scheme to improve road safety which
will include a disabled bay/ delivery drop off, wider pavements and a safer
crossing point
Our prioritise are to : -
- Improve street and pavement safety around the park and school encouraging more people to walk
- Ease congestion and encourage a better flow of
traffic by allowing vehicles to drop off or make deliveries without obstructing
the road
- Encourage drivers to adhere to the 20mph speed
limit
- Provide a pushchair and wheelchair friendly
crossing allowing everyone easy access to green spaces
- Support our children with special needs to be
able to be safely dropped off at school
- Give all our children safe and easy access to
the school playing field for PE and forest school
- Improve the safety of the junction with South Street and British Road
The school and local councillors have an opportunity to
apply for funding to make our plans a reality.
However, to help with our bid we would really like to hear your
views.
When answering please consider the section of South Street between the school and the park.
