AFTER SCHOOL - ROAD SAFETY - around local roads11 April 2025 (by admin) |
We ask again PLEASE DO NOT USE THE ICE-CREAM VAN which parks illegally on/around SPRINGFIELD ROAD. It might be there today because it is the end of the school term.
WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE LOCAL 'ENFORCEMENT TEAM' today, who issue tickets because we are concerned about the safety of children..
A REMINDER...
The ice-cream van parks in a very dangerous position. Illegally parked. You will often see it between 3.15pm/3.40pm parked there.
We ask that parents DO NOT use this vehicle to purchase items for their child/children. Of course, If it was parked in a safe place, legally parked, and causing no danger, and no obstruction, then it would not be a problem at all. THE RECENT DANGEROUS PARKING HOWEVER PUTS OUR CHILDREN AT RISK (and you at risk!).
Staff have spoken to the driver before about moving to a suitable place. However, you will notice it is still parks there on occasions. IT IS DANGEROUS for children/adults to be near it or around it.
PLEASE HELP US and make sure your child is safe and secure when they walk home.
We certainly don't mind local businesses trying to make a business work, BUT NOT IF IT PUTS CHILDREN/ADULTS at risk. It needs to park further away and in a SAFE PLACE, for all concerned!
Thank you for your support and cooperation parents.
