THEY might be a bit cheeky but the lightly-clad lollipop ladies reinforce a serious point around Cowley Road.

Of an evening, people – not only students, let’s be honest – dart around.

It is actually a miracle that not more people – buoyed by alcohol – are knocked down and seriously injured.

Some might try to blame the county council for the road lay-out, but this road safety issue is solely down to personal stupidity.
