Good morning, This photo is right next to my drive way, as you can see the grassy area is no longer grassy, all those marks you can see are from tyres of vehicles who usually park there. The reason I wanted to bring this up was because I see this as a health and safety concern. This road leads to 2 schools, in the morning and at 3pm when school finishes this road gets very very busy, motorists often mounting the kerb to pass cars coming from the opposite direction . This is a serious issue which needs resolving as a matter of high urgency as there are lots of young children walking home after school. Something needs to be done before such an incident occurs, not like last time when just around the corner on Middleton road a child was ran over by a a car, as a result a big speed bump was put so cars would slow down, I don’t think a speed bump would help on this occasion however there used to be speed bumps on this road until the road was resurfaced , I think there should be posts put on to the pavement (grassy area) please contact me when you would like further information, there are a lot of key points I’ve purposely missed out until I’m contacted. This location is Howard road banbury, this issue has been ongoing but due to high levels of traffic at peak times I feel this needs to be addressed
