After 3 years I finally told County what I thought about the school exit I have to use 10 times a week..


Its deadly.......... and a accident waiting to happen, they keep on about dangers to children, theres 40 a day at risk pulling onto a 60mph road on a blind bend in the 20-30 taxis on contract.


Of course nothing will happen till after the carnage, my contract ends July 2018 but im quitting it in 6 weeks time, ive told the great and the good, let them worry I say, ill keep the email i sent for the newspapers as proof they were told

Good.

Should an accident happen then your email could end them up in court.

theyve cut the grass today...

its a start

I cant understand why all vehicles have to enter and exit by 1 drive whan they could have a 1 way system to a gate just down the road with far better sight of the road which could be the exit

The road is 60mph, cars/bikes coming from the right are easily doing that, even though its a uphill rise, the traffic from the left (even HGV's) can hit 60mph or more it being downhill

The drive on the left is not used

Raise it with the Inspector who carried out the Ofsted inspection of the school,you can access the Ofsted report on the schools website,this should have been noticed as it is a "Health and Safety" risk regarding anyone accessing or leaving the school premises.

The headmaster replied saying it has been raised with the highways dept who have decided not to do anything


Friday had a different problem, i was going right at the end of the drive, a PH passat drew alongside to my left, as if to go the other way

oh no he wasnt, he shot across the front of me, 300 yds later he almost had another accident turning right across traffic, 20 minutes later we hit town and he was just 2 cars ahead of me

and he wasnt even UBER
