KINGSTANDING CIRCLE ISLAND IS BEING MADE SAFER AT LAST


After months of requests on behalf of the Police and local resident the Council are now installing metal fencing around the outer edge of the Kingstanding Island (Oscott side). This should prevent motorists parking their cars on the edge of the island which not only obstructs those using the island but has been a potential accident waiting to happen.
Although this section of the island (near the KFC take away) has had yellow lines for some years motorists have ignored them when trying to collect food from the local shops there.
I understand the temptation to do this but is could have caused a major accident and the Police have warned motorists for years about the problem. The work is expected to be complete in a matters of days.
