This road is an accident waiting to happen, cars and vans go haring down it trying to 'beat the traffic' and cut the corner, instead of just turning left into Barry Road 100m later. A traffic survey was undertaken last year and the report stated that the volume of traffic was significantly higher than normal for a road of this type in this area, factor in the kids crossing during the morning and evening rush hours and the math is simple, sooner or later a child WILL be killed. As I understand it a 'Gate' type barrier will be placed across the road as this will allow the Fire Brigade to access the 12 or so houses on that stretch of Friern, similar barriers are common place throughout the area. I just ask anyone who opposes this closure to consider how they will feel when they hear of the death of a child!
