SENDING children through an industrial area unsupervised could be dangerous, according to Intersurgical managing director Mark Levrier.

The firm is based on the Pitronnerie Road estate at the St Peter Port end of the suggested walking and cycling route to the new schools at Les Nicolles. Mr Levrier had major concerns about children moving through the busy area to access the green lane to the Island Bowl, the first part of the route. There are no footpaths and forklifts regularly operate.

Pat Wisher of Living Streets said the group had met Mr Levrier on Saturday. 'Living Streets is grateful to Mark Levrier for drawing its attention to the possible safety issues which students might face when they walk or cycle through the industrial estate to access the track to the Bowl. Certainly we do not want to put students in danger and we hope that we can work with the estate owners to find solutions to all their concerns.
