In 2012, the vast majority - 98% - of serious or fatal pedestrian injuries in urban areas (i.e. where pedestrians are most likely to be) - were due to collisions with motor vehicles; From 2008 to 2012 (inclusive), out of the total numbers of pedestrians killed in single vehicle collisions with vehicles in any location/area (i.e. in the road or on the footway, urban and rural), cycles were involved in about 0.4% of fatalities and around 1.4% of serious injuries, while cars were involved in about 68% of pedestrian fatalities, and 81% of pedestrian serious injuries: http://www.ctc.org.uk/sites/default/files/file_public/pedestriansbrf.pdf

There seems to be a discrepancy between what the Head of Ivydale is saying - 'The governing body agreed in principle to enter discussions with the local authority.' and what the council through Fiona Colley, is saying - 'At this stage the Head and governors have agreed in principle to the expansion of Ivydale'. There is a world of difference between the two. Perhaps the school and council could clarify what the position actually is?
