We reported yesterday on calls from eight headteachers for changes to be made to improve the safety of Queens Drive. Here’s what you said on our Facebook page.

Tom Still: “Just get a lollipop man and teach your students how to use a crossing instead of running out in front of cars.”

Janie White: “Plenty of crossings on Queens Drive, perhaps use them instead of running out!”

Buster Plumb: “Been using this road since being in Swindon two years ago now and not once have I been nearly hit. Only seen people using the road the wrong way by running across the non-crossing zones.”

Claire Batner: "Not just Queens Drive. Drakes Way is the same with the children from St Joseph’s School just running across the road!

"New College, the students run across to the bus stop rather than using the crossing."

Kate Reed: "The accident that happened recently was not the pedestrian's fault at all, but that is a road where people drive so fast!

"I take my daughter to college there, and the amount of school pupils that run across the road, weaving in an out of cars."

Annette Duffy: "Students constantly ignore the lights and will continue to cross long after the red man shows on the controls. Occasionally school staff would supervise the crossings which would stop this, but as soon as the staff disappear this behaviour returns."

Sandy Stephenson: "The accidents on Queens Drive a few weeks ago did use the crossing a car went straight through a red light and hitting the kids at speed. My neighbours child was one of the kids that got hit and still hasn’t recovered."

Paul Thompson: "Don’t worry the council are filling in the subway next year."

Karen Curtin: "Why not put a school speed zone in areas like these during the busy periods."

Keith Morgan: "The amount who don’t use the crossing and just run out from the bushes is awful."

June Beckett: "Marlborough Road was changed to 30 mph so it would make sense for this to happen on Queens Drive."

Louise Reddan: "I know the accident a few weeks back was caused by a red light being jumped and it's no excuse, but even I’ve been caught out at how quickly the lights at Sussex Place change while going the speed limit or slower."

Catherine Bennett: "It will only get worse if they close the underpass by Lawns."

Rebecca Clements: "I’ve lived Queens Drive for 20 years now. Over the years, doing the school run, I can tell you that the road has got worse and is dangerous. Cars are constantly speeding and going through red lights."

Kerry Hurlbutt: "Definitely needs to be made safer. It is an awful place to cross!"

Alistair Flockhart: "The parents need to take some responsibility. The pavement between Holy Cross and the Magic Roundabout is full of pedestrians and children at drop off and pick up times and yet some of the parents insist on riding their bikes on the pavement."

Amanda Jayne: "Now here is a thought! Maybe if they kept the subway open to cross safely for kids it would never have been an issue! All they had to do was maintain that subway and put good lighting! But again SBC didn’t and took it away."

Carrie Lou: "Plenty of lights they just choose not to walk to use them."

Saman Saman: "Couldn’t agree more. Some drivers think Queens Drive is dual-carriageway."

Faye Louise Payne: "I was hit by a hospital transport bus in the bus lane while walking to school to Churchfields (now Lawn Manor). Broke my arm and damaged the nerves in my legs from the impact, it’s a very dangerous road."

Sandy Stephenson: "We don’t want speed humps along Queens Drive – it’s bad enough along Shaftesbury Avenue it damages your tracking as well."

Chloe Dee Ford: "I can honestly say, regardless what school or age group, when these kids turn out from school, they walk out into roads, cycle in front of you or jump into badly-parked parents cars! Changing the road will not change this."
