Residents and parents are being urged to have their say on proposals to improve safety around a Birmingham school.
A raft of changes including the installation of bollards and the introduction of a 20mph zone are being mooted around Chilcote Primary School in Hall Green.
The project forms part of Birmingham ’s broader Transport Plan, which aims to prioritise people over cars, and would be funded by the Local Improvement Budget – Transportation and Highways Fund.
