· Provision of school warning signs on Siddington Avenue;
· Provision of access protection markings on Cuddington Crescent at properties with dropped kerbs;
· Provision of kerb blips on Cuddington Crescent to reinforce the existing No Loading restrictions (8am – 5pm Monday to Friday);
· Existing sign posts on Cuddington Crescent to be painted to highlight the school entrance; and
· An upgrade of the school warning signage on Adswood Road including provision of ‘School 20 When Lights Show’ signage to encourage vehicles to slow down at school times.
