And now I come to my second ground of undesirability which I consider most important, and that is the question of safety of the children living at Magazine Gap and the Peak. The proposed route of the [new motor] road lies through Magazine Gap itself, and thence along the Craigmin Road to Craigmin West, and subsequently it has to squeeze its way through the small gap between "Cheltondale" and "Balgownie" and then to run for some distance along the present road past the Peak Church, which road is the approach to the Peak school for all children going to that school from any house to the east of that school. And the question which I wish to put is this: Why should we wantonly and unnecessarily introduce a new danger for children living at Magazine Gap and the Peak by building such a road?

And now I come to my second ground of
undesirability which I consider most important, and
that is the question of safety of the children living at
Magazine Gap and the Peak. The proposed route of
the [new motor] road lies through Magazine Gap itself, and thence
along the Craigmin Road to Craigmin West, and
subsequently it has to squeeze its way through the
small gap between "Cheltondale" and "Balgownie"
and then to run for some distance along the present
road past the Peak Church, which road is the approach
to the Peak school for all children going to that school
from any house to the east of that school. And the
question which I wish to put is this: Why should we
wantonly and unnecessarily introduce a new danger
for children living at Magazine Gap and the Peak by
building such a road?
