A new crossing point was installed in Highbury Avenue just a short distance from the entrance to the school here. Within a fortnight, a concrete mixer vehicle clouted it as it made its way to the new housing estate that is being built nearby. The large wooden post was damaged and uprooted from the ground - hence the fresh tarmac. There are no reports of any injuries.
