We’ve also been working closely with The Highland Council to help make Culduthel Road safer, with works due to begin soon and we continue to work alongside them to improve the school playground. This is a longer-term project as we need to build our funds, but we’re making sure all the right steps are being taken to give it the best chance of success.

~~ Road Safety Update ~~

🚸 Road Safety Update - Culduthel/Balloan Road 🚸

Following our previous post a while ago about us working alongside the Road Safety Team, we’re really pleased to be able to share some positive news regarding road safety at Culduthel/Balloan Road.

The Parent Council has been working closely alongside Road Safety, raising your concerns about this area and most importantly, the need to keep our children safe when travelling to and from school. We’re delighted that these concerns have been listened to and acted upon -

✅ A contractor has now been secured

✅ The street lighting team are now carrying out significant upgrade works to the crossings

As part of this work, new light-controlled crossings will be installed on both Culduthel Road and Balloan Road, where there are currently no controlled crossing facilities.

In addition, the segregated cycleways at this junction will be enhanced, creating a much safer and improved layout overall. These upgrades will be of particular benefit to pupils of Cauldeen Primary School who use this route daily.

This is a great example of what can be achieved when concerns are raised, listened to and worked on collaboratively. Thank you to everyone involved in helping make the journey to and from school safer for our children!

Being part of the Parent Council is incredibly rewarding, but it does take a significant amount of time. Like many families, our members are balancing work, home life and other commitments. To allow the Parent Council to continue, we are really hoping to welcome new parents or carers who might be able to help going forward. A free PVG will be organised by us, and support can be in any capacity, big or small or help guide us to other areas of support to help us fundraise towards our Playground.
