• SO Cllr Claudia Webbe, executive member for environment and transport, tweets (July 21): “With residents we led the transformation of a former industrial street to become a street for children designed by children themselves to support our new Moreland Primary School and Children’s Centre.” https://twitter.com/ClaudiaWebbe/status/1152888285120946177.

Painting a street does not make it “for children”. Motor vehicles will still go through it, and make it totally unsuitable for children. A street will be for children when you put bollards in it, and motor traffic can no longer go through it.
