At The Village Nursery and Pre-school, we consider the safety of the children a fundamental part of our job and strive to keep children healthy, happy and safe.

We are located on Stockport Road in Gee Cross, Hyde. This road is very busy and vehicles often pass at high speed. We have done everything possible to put things in place inside the building to keep children from getting out onto the road unattended and are lucky enough to have a car park which enables parents to deliver their children to us and pick them back up safely.

However, we feel that more needs to be put into place on the road to warn motorists of little people coming in and out of the building, attempt to slow vehicles down and stop our children from running directly into the road.

Tameside Council have objected against putting up 'Slow Down' signs and a barrier on our pavement. We are disappointed that they will not support our request to prevent any accidents happening by putting traffic safety measures in place.

We are going to take this matter to our local MP and would appreciate your support by singing this petition.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
