THE death of schoolboy Thomas Wong has sparked new safety measures to prevent another tragedy.
Thomas, 11, was struck by a bin lorry as he cycled to school last month.
His death left friends and parents at Cramond Primary in Edinburgh devastated.
Now, councillors have outlined changes in the roads surrounding the school.
Thomas was struck in Whitehouse Road in Barnton after the bin lorry exited the car park of the Royal Burgess Golf Club on to the main road.
City of Edinburgh councillors vowed to do everything possible to prevent a repeat of the tragedy.
Lib Dem councillor Kevin Lang said there are now plans to change the height of a hedge at the exit of the golf club to improve sightlines and improve signage on the road and poles.
