Road safety outside schools remains a concern

Road safety is a concern, especially outside our local schools. In October 2024, I met with the County Council, our local County Councillor, and the Highways Cabinet Member outside the schools, pressing them to take action. I presented a list of highways issues that residents had raised and I’m continuing to pursue this.

Hampshire County Council have backed off cutting crossing patrol staff, but the local school crossing patrol officer has resigned. The County have surveyed the location and it “remains justified”. Applications for a new crossing patrol officer are open.

I’m pushing for road safety outside our schools to be addressed by the County Council – we still need a zebra crossing delivered.
