We have a received an email from Mrs Lawson relating to issues on the school drive - children running down the path, vehicles parking on the turning circle and vehicles parking on the triple yellow lines at the bottom of the drive, at drop off and pick up times. We discussed these issues to look at the issues and dangers we face.
Running down the drive:

• Fall over and injure yourself.
• Slip/stumble onto the road .
• Bump into other adults/children.
• Leaves/ice may cause you to slip.

Parking on the turning circle (without disabled access permission):

• People walk on this route - a car might hit someone if they park on the pavement.
• If buses are trying to safely turn they cannot with cars in the way. As a result children have to meet buses on the main road.
• Cars may block pram/wheelchairs/other access, forcing people onto the road. 

Vehicles parking on the triple yellow lines at the bottom of the drive:

• It is illegal for a reason - to look after everyone's safety.
• Emergency vehicles may not be able to get to the school quickly enough. 
• ​Access is blocked for the local houses.

​Next week we aim to discuss alternatives to these issues to avoid any dangers or accidents.
