Text
I thank the Member for his question. I can confirm that the developer responsible for the construction of the school is required to erect "safer routes to school" signage and appropriate road markings as part of the approved planning permission. I can also advise that an instruction to complete the required works was passed to the developer’s contractor in October. Officials will continue to work with the developer to ensure that the school signage is erected.
