Our Questions (29.09.16) • How many new properties are being built? • How many people will live on the new housing estate? • How many houses will have drives on Tramway Road? • What impact will the new development have on our school and the local residents?
Our Investigation How can we keep everyone safe on their way to and from school?
Our Ideas (29.09.16) Widen the road (Bailey) Lower the speed limit at the busiest times (Cassie) Put traffic lights at the top of the road (Sonny) Maximum number of cars coming down road (Liam) Widen the pavement (Harriet) Make Tramway Road one way (Isaac) Park in the car park at the top of the road (Archie)
