'A recipe for disaster'

Politicians and residents hit out at water company's roadworks

- 

The MP, pictured, told representatives from Severn Trent: "I'm conscious that Botany Bay Road where it meets Keelings Road is right opposite Coop Academy Northwood.

"So if we are diverting traffic through Botany Bay and Keelings, what conversations is the highway authority having with the school about the safety of children exiting and entering that, particularly in the morning and at 3.30?"

The MP also questioned whether the school street scheme, which restricts traffic during school drop-off and pickup times could be suspended while the works are taking place to make it easier for parents to park and improve safety.
