Footway improvements at Seaview Primary School
We’ve recently completed footway improvements on Victoria Street in Monifieth, at Seaview Primary School.
- Wider and smoother footway – making it easier for parents and carers with pushchairs to get to the primary school.
- Improved accessibility and safety - additional crossing points and dropped kerbs.
- Brighter and safer – fun pencil-shaped bollards highlight the school entrance.
Funded through Transport Scotland's annual grant, dedicated to improving the conditions for walking, wheeling and cycling, this project makes sure it is a safer, more enjoyable journey to school for everyone!
