Since I arrived in Skipton as Headteacher of Skipton Girls' High School, I have become increasingly concerned about the congestion and volume of traffic on Gargrave Road; parents parking dangerously outside school to drop off and pick up children and the conflict on the road and neighbouring streets which, sadly at times has been incredibly disrespectful to local residents.

I wish therefore for us to take the initiative to launch an Urban 20 Campaign through the organisation BRAKE. I'd like SGHS to work with the community; Julian Smith MP and local and County Councillors to implement GO 20 and 20mph limits for Gargrave Road and to address the road traffic issues AND to find sustainable solutions to school transport and parking.
