Road safety 'key' for new schools

The issue of road safety at two new schools in Guernsey has been raised by the island's new environment minister.

The schools at Les Nicolles are due to open in September but there are concerns about the risk traffic might pose to students as they travel.

The previous members of the Environment Department decided not to introduce calming measures in the area until the schools open.

However, new environment minister Deputy Peter Sirett said safety is key.

The schools, one secondary and one special secondary, are being built on the 22-acre former Les Nicolles vinery site.
