ROAD SAFETY WORK NEAR GREAT BARR SCHOOL TO BE CARRIED OUT.


I am pleased to announce at long last and following the recently completed work carried out in Sandy Lane and the recently introduced speed indicator sign further down the Aldridge Road near the Great Barr Schools is to have the following road safety work carried out on it.


Replacement of Lighting Columns (16no.) - It has now been agreed these will be installed by Amey in May/June 2011 as part of their upgrading programme and not as part of these works;
which are Traffic Calming – traffic islands pedestrian refuges with associated tactile paving and central hatch markings;
A bus Stop Relocation
New restricted parking bays and disabled parking
Waiting restrictions signs and markings – Single Yellow Lines;
Warning Signs – ‘School Ahead’ signs.
This work should begin on February 14th and will be on the Aldridge Road near the Great Barr School.
After campaigning for so long I am pleased this work is to finally be carried out however sadly the promised safety railing which were going to be put in place near the Aldridge Road / Dyas Road junction is no longer being considered I HOPE THIS DOES NOT PROVE TO BE A COSTLY MISTAKE.
