‘Why won’t they tell us what the traffic plan is?’

LES EFFARDS residents are being kept in the dark over traffic arrangements at the new Baubigny secondary schools. Some suspect that their road will be made one-way but say they have been told nothing.

‘Nobody has bothered to come and talk to us and let us know what is going on,’ said Guernsey Hedgehog Rescue Centre proprietor Dawn Robin.

She said that the narrowness of the road would make getting in and out of her gate difficult when traffic was queuing at the pedestrian traffic lights. ‘Are we supposed to drive around the block and wait until the road is clear?’ she said. ‘Building two schools so close together is ridiculous.’
