After only six months of asking, and after only two inexplicably lenghty delays, the Council finally pulled its finger out yesterday and installed the much needed additional safety barriers at St Mary’s Park. And I thank them for that.

Since the St Ann’s Road / Bury New Road junction was re-modelled, the exit from the park has not been properly guarded, but now it is, and the likelihood of an excited kid scampering out into the road and ending up squashed by a bus has been dramatically reduced.

So that’s good news, and my thanks to everyone involved, from the resident who alerted me originally through to the Highways officers who got the job done.
