Goodrich Primary

There have been concerns for some time about the high levels of congestion outside Goodrich School at school pick up and drop off times. The council has worked with Goodrich Primary to install pavement widening on Dunstans Road and Upland Road, outside two of the main entrances to Goodrich School. This is to facilitate social distancing and to ensure all children and parents are able to avoid walking in the road at drop off and pick up time. We are now considering possible timed closures of a section of Dunstans Road during school drop off and pick up times. I am very grateful to local residents, Goodrich parents and to the school who have raised the issues of road safety with us and worked with us to find solutions. It was great to do a site visit to outside the school with Helen Hayes MP this month to see the impact of the pavement widening. I look forward to visiting again to see the impact of further traffic calming measures.
