I like this idea. Should be very effective.

Yeah they are on Newtown Road aren't they? They must have been there for over a year now, well done SkyNews...

They were on the hill in Lordswood til the school closed. I aways found them to be a bit spooky.

All well and good until drivers become accustomed to them being there. Then you run the risk of familiarisation and the driver not slowing down when a real child is about the cross the road. splat.

I reckon the way forward here pancake is to install speed cameras in their eyes with little LED's, a brilliant safety feature and more importantly a good fundraiser for the taxpayer.

 

I wonder if anyone will ring social services to report kids playing out late at night too.

Yeah but if you stop next to the ones in paulsgrove they nick your hubcaps.... well actually anything they can get off the car, i often similarise driving through pompey with driving through the monkey enclosure at longleat, only a lot more uncivilised.

Yeah, and also by the school by sholing video, in fact, i don't even notice those bollards on newtown road any more and i drive down it atleast twice a day, so they can't be that good. :smt102

I heard that one of the Paulsgrove ones was abducted by a podiatrist. There is a vigilante group out looking for him as we speak.
