Jerry Brownlee attended the meeting and raised several points to the Committee.  He noted that  on 7^th July when the usage survey was undertaken, approx 2/3rds of students were absent from school. He also noted that the sensor cable used became damaged during the second week of survey and that overgrown vegetation added to the narrowness of the road.
