Streeet furniture comes in handy at times...only recently I saw on TV and I dont know if any of you saw it... A guy after robbing a store with a fellow robber runs out of the store at full speed with his mate. His mate carries on but this guy looks backwards to see if he is being chased while running fast...only to rush headlong into a street sign. He flattened himself and fell to the ground almost knocked out.
His injury was quite bad so he went to the nearest hospital, where the police conveniently picked him up...oh mercy me !
But with regard the serious aspect, barriers and so forth are very essential as far as kids are concerned and actually cut accidents and therefore cut overall costs in health service, ambulance time etc. However as we know the KCC have been clobbered by government cuts...so probably not their direct fault.
