Green lane is a particular nightmare when crossing the road to and from the junior school. I actually think motorists speeded up and had complete disregard to the very young children concerned.

Just a 20 zone isn’t enough! We need to cameras. Look at Cold Bath Road with just a flashing 20 zone sign, and still there have been serious accidents with cars ending up on their roofs. It’s only a matter of time until a child is killed. The council have been warned time after time, and nothing warns you more than the near misses happening and actual crashes. These have happened mere moments where children and families have been walked to and from school so this is happening during the peak times! When it does happen, the council will have blood on their hands, and I would back and pursue that whoever has ignored the crucial advice given to them by concerned schools and parents would be liable for criminal negligence. Vehicles in Harrogate are large and fast, Land Rovers for example, can easier kill someone. I am fed up of seeing speeding cars in 20 zones! Something needs to change.

It is imperative that the road surface on Pannal Ash Road is repaired ASAP - it is incredibly dangerous for cyclists and could easily cause a car driver to be deflected from the carriageway.

I strongly support this proposal.
Thinking in particular of Green Lane, the streets in this area are difficult to cross at busy times.
If we make them safe for pedestrians and cyclists, people will be able to choose active, sustainable travel for shorter journeys, which will benefit their health and finances, as well as creating a healthier environment for all.

Living opposite Ashville College, we regularly see many car drivers exit the existing 20mph zone at the top end of Pannal Ash Road, only to speed down Yew Tree Lane at well over the 30mph limit. So absolutely support the 20mph zone being extended to cover all the streets in the vicinity of the 4 schools, and the other proposals for safer streets.

Tbe speed of cars travelling in this area is ridiculous. Given that these roads are frequently used by very young school children: this should be a 20mph zone, that is monitored closely and speeders caught and dealt with

Being out on duty every day before and after school makes it really clear that a reduction in speed limit is required for the safety of our young people. We have used a speed monitor at times, thinking cars were travelling way too fast and often they are doing 30mph, which demonstrates that this is not an acceptable speed around schools, which are very busy with pedestrians and road hazards such as buses and parked cars. Let's not wait for an accident to happen to make the roads around our schools safer.
