"There is talk about the railway crossing being a danger as it is so close to the primary school (the school must have doubled it's intake of pupils since the new build was finished) and the warning sounds/lights are disturbing the locals" First I'd heard about it was on Twitter a couple of days ago where someone asked me if I'd heard anything. I hadn't. Rumour then was that local residents were trying to stir Mary Macleod up into backing closure of the crossing, but the reasons were unclear. Child safety is a total canard on these occasions, of course, GPPS only permit walking to school from age 7 and from school somewhat later, at which point kids will have had rail safety lessons at school. "Also it has been said that a new bridge would be built( with disabled access/lifts)" Given that it's a well used cycling route with no reasonable alternatives, that's hardly a substitute. It's a bit of a stretch to imagine an underpass would be possible, and a ramped bridge would be rather long. |
