ANOTHER POLICE ACTIVITY DAY IN OSCOTT OPERATION SHACKEL


I was happy to attend another Police activity day in Oscott. Following a large number of complaints about speeding and bad parking near the Great Barr School, the Police put together an operation to look into the problem. This became operation Shackle. A number of parents were spoken to about their parking out side the Great Barr School by the Police and Parking attendants. The Council waded in by distributing information packs and so on.
I would like to see more of these events however it is up to the Council to find solutions to the bad parking problems around our schools. I would like to know what has happend to proposals for some 20MPH zones to be introduced?
With regards to the Great Barr Schools I have reminded the Councils Transportation department of the Aldridge Road Road Safety Scheme Phase 2 initiative and will try and get some progess from them. ( there was a public meeting last year)
