Fossoway

The possibility of a new pedestrian crossing over the A977, with traffic lights, between Fossoway Primary School and the Crook of Devon Institute was mentioned at a recent Fossoway Community Council meeting. Fingers crossed that Perth & Kinross Council will fund this. Parking for parents dropping off and collecting their children from school is provided at the Institute car park, which means that children either have to cross the busy A977 at a particularly dangerous section of the road (on a bend that lorries come tearing round) or face a lengthy detour to the crossing outside the Inn. An extra crossing at this location would improve road safety and might serve to slow down some of the vehicles that currently thunder through Crook of Devon doing well over the speed limit.
