Keswick school junction is a staggering situation. 

At the moment the main traffic and pedestrian entrance to Keswick school is situated on a bend on a very major road. cars approach the school junction from the a66 in excesses of 40 miles an hour. With dozens of coaches coming in and out of the entrance as well as parents cars pulling up alongside the kerbs on double yellows and hundreds of schoolchildren starting their day it is a recipe for a serious and significant accident waiting to happen. The children are crossing from a shop with traffic in both directions with no crossing guard or pelican or zebra crossing the reactive nature of the council unfortunately means that until there is an accident there will be no crossing put in place unless we do something and speak up as one and potentially save a child's life by doing so.
