AN Emergency meeting will take place tomorrow about road safety around the new Les Nicolles schools.

Environment is under pressure from both Education and residents who believe its ‘wait and see’ approach could endanger pupils at St Sampson’s High and Le Murier special needs school. It has also emerged that the Environment committee’s stance, backed by four out of five board members, went against the advice of its own staff.

The emergency departmental meeting was prompted by Deputy Ivan Rihoy who wants to see speed cushions installed. Les Effards resident Peter Lihou is trying to get a consensus from concerned parties on what approach should be adopted.
