Raising Highway Issues 


l
When developing or implementing Travel Plans, schools often recognise highways issues which are either affecting sustainable modes of travel to school, or are causing safety concerns. We recommend that you discuss this with the Parish Council and local members so that we can be sure that there is a local concensus before reporting the matter to us.
