Seeing this kind of movement is exhausting but it reminds me why I started this fight in the first place. People are finally paying attention to the risk our children face and that momentum gives me the grit to keep pushing ahead.

If you stand on the Charvil side of the crossing and look right, you will notice the road curves away into an almost blind bend for drivers coming up from Pearson Rd direction. They only see the crossing at the last moment. Drivers are often in a hurry: I have been on there when the crossing is not manned and it is without doubt a danger to small children if there is no crossing assistance.
Pound Lane is a well used commuter route. A number of cars will speed on this road and some do not stop in time for the children to cross. The road can be busy at school drop off and pick up and road users can get frustrated with the delay from having to pass parked cars. This frustration can lead to faster driving and less care on the crossing. Having the crossing replaced with lights would provide a much clearer instruction to drivers that they must stop and allow pedestrians to cross
Help keep our children safe from busy commuters who are rushing to get to work
The school have explored numerous options to keep our crossing patrolled, the only alternative to keep our pupils safe is a Pufin.
Such a dangerous road for our children to cross. If we can't have a crossing patroller then we need a good alternative.
The safety of pedestrians is paramount.
Even though the speed limit is 30 / 20 - drivers still go too fast down Pound Lane and having a lollipop person makes the drivers comply and slow down - which is essential for this to be safe crossing for the kids when going to school.

Extremely busy road especially at drop off and pick up times. Multiple road access onto Pound Lane right near zebra No lollipop person now. Limited sight of crossing for drivers due to bend. Cars travelling regularly in excess of 20 mph. Drivers already regularly not stopping at crossing for pedestrians. A Puffin crossing would provide a safer option than what exists at the moment - a zebra crossing. I witness near misses on a regular weekly basis.
