The safety concerns raised due to the busy nature of
Salvington Road and for an
investigation into other potential methods of traffic calming along
the road.

and a crossing patrol person, but driver behaviour remains a
concern, with cars exceeding 30 mph.

to children are noted · A crossing is needed for access to the Family Centre, school and sports and social clubs A crossing will help the elderly cross safely and assist those using the library and local shops. 19.5 The Committee also received a letter written by the students at the school asking them to take action and address the issue.
