Lib Dems in Highgate have welcomed the agreement of Haringey Council to repaint
bus stop markings outside Channing School, N6 after they were replaced with
a single yellow line during the recent introduction of the CPZ to the area.
Highgate Councillor Mel Simpson contacted Haringey Council after residents
expressed their concern at the dangerous situation caused by the removal of
the bus stop markings in Highgate High Street.
The single yellow line
painted in its place meant that vehicles often parked in a solid line
outside the school when the CPZ was not in force (outside the hours of
10-noon). The result was that many bus users, including school children, had to step out into the busy road on leaving the bus and to be seen when
waiting for the bus.
Cllr Simpson is pleased that Haringey have responded to the issues raised
and repainted the markings.
Cllr Melanie Simpson comments:
"We have successfully pressed for improvements in road safety around many
schools in the borough. This small action has improved the safety for both
school children and local residents who use the bus."
