Since the day Ysgol Bae Baglan opened there have been problems. The front of school parking is totally inadequate to cope with the volume of traffic at 'drop off' & 'pick up' times, despite the council stating they put more than enough places there. There is a big area at the rear of the school that parents can use. But there is no signage at the main entrance to indicate this. There should be 'caution school' signs there to say the least. Lack of parking is causing problems for residents in locality. The council need to look at erecting correct signage to ensure child safety is paramount. This should be done now BEFORE there is an accident. Please sign the petition to get the council to rectify problem before the new Welsh Medium School is in place as this is only going to magnify the existing problems.

I am a community care of the sandfields area. It is impossible to get to my clients. Every day is the same. 30 -40minutes late due to cars blocking the road as they are trying to pick up their children. Why can't they use that huge car park they have at the rear of the school. To avoid accidents. Children have already had near misses with tragic. Cars have already been hit in accidents. But as always nothing gets done until a life is lost.
Open the bottom round about back up for is to park or drop off around the back!!
Concerned with the new Welsh school opening in the next couple years just how safe the roads will be. If there's no parking now, it will only be worse then surely.
Its a nightmare , our children come out at 3 and its very busy , an accident waiting to happen
Parking at the back entrance also dreadful.
The powers that be aren't listening
Utter shambles

School has been open since September last year, still no sign at Sirius Drive to show people how to get in to park for after school sports and big show events., therefore using our estate at Afandale as a car park. Between 8 and 8.30am our estate is being used as 'the drop off zone' for the comprehensive children. Then the pupils are just running across the road from there. This also happens again at 3pm when they're being picked up. NOT ENOUGH PARKING!!!! This needs to be addressed Asap
