Finberry

Dangerous Safety Barriers (again)
Dangerous to cyclists and pedestrians.

Re: The new housing development known as Finberry (Cheesman's Green)















 A nice new shared use route, but the barrier is in the wrong place. It it is obvious that if a motor vehicle 'looses-it' on the bend, then it would career into the barrier taking anything or anybody with it, crushing them against the barrier. Who designed this? What were they thinking? Don't the lives of pedestrians and cyclists count?

This is a new project, this is modern Britain, let us get it right for a change.
Put the barrier in the right place then it not only protects the most vulnerable, but it provides protection to motorists too.
It is cheaper to get it right the first time.

I would appreciate any feedback from interested parties please.
