I couldn't agree more soon there is going to be a fatal accident!! Something really needs to be put in place not only by Peatmoor School but also something in the middle section by horseshoe crescent where a number of children & parents try to cross Swinley Drive to go to Brook Field School. We cycle on most days to school and crossing this road already is very dangerous as there is very few safe spots to cross especially young children trying to get bikes up curbs as there are very few drop downs! You need very good hearing and when it's wet and windy you just need to take your life in your hands. This does not help with the confidence of the children when cars are going so fast they tend to panic and we have had many close shaves! The council should be encouraging people to cycle or walk not make them feel they need to drive for their own safety and they should think more about the environmental impact this has.
