Traffic safety to be reviewed before Dundee school merger

Dundee’s education director is promising a comprehensive review of traffic safety before a new shared campus is built.

The city council wants to move Rosebank and Our Lady’s RC primaries and the Frances Wright Pre-School Centre to a new home where the Alexander Street multis used to stand.

A consultation exercise has found parents, staff and pupils broadly in favour, but concerns were raised about traffic.

Mr Wood said: “Road safety will be improved in the area around the new shared campus to ensure ease of access for pupils and vehicles.

“The current arrangements in relation to parking and road safety in the existing establishments are not good. These issues will be addressed fully in the new campus site.”

He said a travel to school plan would be developed and work done to ensure crossing patrollers were stationed in the right places. The use of Pelican crossings would also be considered.
