LETS HAVE 20mph ZONES AROUND SCHOOLS IN BIRMINGHAM AND NOT ARGUE WHOSE IDEA IT IS


At the recent Birmingham City Council meeting I found it almost amusing when the Cabinet member for Transportation criticised a MP for claiming she was responsible for a 20MPH Zones initiative around schools in Birmingham. It was insinuated that it was the Council Administrations initiative.

I have been calling on such a zone to be established around schools in Oscott (in suitable locations) for a long time and just get "its being looked into" from the Transportation department. I do not mind who gets the credit I would just like to see safer roads for school children.
They need to look at Glenmead, Sundridge,Perry Beeches, Aldridge Road, Greenholm, Hawthorn Road, Maryvale schools to start with in Oscott.

I could not agree with you more Keith, but don't feel down about it, we the end users know who puts all the hard work in.Keep up the good work it is appreciated by all who support you.

I think that within a very short time motorists themselves will all be driving at 20mph on all roads as they become more and more potholed, because of the fact that Birmingham appears to have become a no go zone for any road repairs.
