ROSENDALE SCHOOL ROAD SAFETY
Following representations made parents and local residents and a site meeting organised by Councilor Clare Whelan with Lambeth Safety Officer, the following reply has been received .
Dear Councillor Whelan
Following this morning's visit, and the discussions that took place, I thought it best just to clarify the issues raised and the actions from them:
I will look at providing a relief School Crossing Patrol Officer until such times as Mrs Lea Blandford returns to work. I have people in the pipeline who we could possibly use, and then move them to their permanent site once Lea returns.
I will ask Misha Hewapannage (School Travel Plan Officer) to look into the possibility of installing a raised Zebra Crossing where the School Crossing Patrol Ofiecr currently operates, although it is unlikely that there is funding available in the 06-07 budget and it may have to wait until 07-08.
In the meantime Eugene will look into the possibility of putting a single yellow line in either side of the crossing, on both sides of the road.
Eugene to investigate the possibility of installing a cycle path, with Mr Richard Ambler - Cycle Projects Officer.
I will arrange for two more 'School' signs to be erected; one going up Rosendale Road replacing the old sign that is currently in situ, and the other at the roundabout at the junction with Dalkeith Road.
I will provide a Vehicle Activated Traffic Calming Sign, which indicates '30. Slow Down' by the end of this financial year going down hill in Rosendale Road (providing there is a suitable location to install this; given that it requires approx. 80-100metres clear site line).
Eugene will liaise with James Ross to ascertain the current position with the School Keep Clear markings and the Traffic Management Order, to see if we have to start from scratch when moving the markings from their current location to outside the entrance used by children/parents.
I hope to be able to give you a further update by the end of next week.
If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely
