Much political capital is made out of the reasons for 'school streets' a feelgood phrase for various restrictions on driving at certain times in certain places near schools. When Enfield Council started down this route they used physical barriers at many locations and then Mr Mustard noticed a change, which he tweeted about, viz (click on the image to enlarge):

One of his followers wasn't happy about the change and so emailed a councillor.
A reply followed, but Mr Mustard can't see any safety concern expressed despite his responsibility for Road safety and it isn't what you would call a full answer and it was sent a mere 9 minutes after the enquiry so a bit of a kneejerk response.
The concerned Enfield Resident then sat and thought for a week, not 9 minutes, and came up with a brilliant solution, which any council that was truly concerned about the safety of schoolchildren would respond to instantly saying that they were seriously considering how to implement the proposed solution and that the resident would be made a freeman of the borough.
Very oddly and Mr Mustard can't understand why, silence is reigning supreme.
If you too are unhappy and want to support his genius idea, Councillor Barnes can be contacted by email - cllr.ian.barnes@enfield.gov.uk
The end.
