Also the council has informed us that they are unable to provide staff to help with the closure of the road. Both schools feel that we need the road to be closed for the safety of our children however we are unable to guarantee to be able to staff this everyday. Therefore we would be grateful if any parent, carers or members of the local community would be prepared to support us and volunteer in supporting the road closure. If you are interested in this role, please contact us as soon as possible.
