As a parent of a child who attends Briary school and a resident in Greenhill, I feel its extremely important to a child's safety to reinstate the crossing patrol. Not only does it stop traffic but it also slows the flow of traffic at school entry and exit times making it a much safer place for parents and children to cross the road.
KCC know that this section of road is dangerous for families hence the Crossing Control that they have always had in place here. By doing so they have set a precedent!!!! To withdraw it now is immoral.
This is an extremely busy road and the crossing is on a blind corner. Cars park either side of the road quite close to the crossing which makes visibility poor. The children are in danger when crossing the road and a Road Crossing Assistant is essential. To remove such vital assistance to the children is ludicrous!
I want to feel that my children's safety is top priority, but as they are growing independent and reaching their last year of school they no longer want their parents walking them up to the school gate, but I still want to be able to put my mind at rest and know they have arrived safely.
Something absolutely needs to be done about this crossing. Myself and my 5 yr old son have nearly been knocked over twice on this crossing just this school year. Some of the drivers are terrible and the parking around there is atrocious.
Having 2 children going to briary and seeing how drivers ignore the crossing there should be a patrol person making sure that all the people using the crossing are safe at school times. But as per usual who ever has the last work on whether the crossing get a patrol person they will wait until some one is badly injured or killed before they do anything.
My kids don't attend this school anymore but I've sign the petition as it's about the safety of all those children as there is to many arrogant drivers out there thinking they own the road.

There is no dobt that we need a manned crossing here. It is the only crossing on the whole of the Greenhill Rd, and is used for primary school and secondary school pupils. Please don't let us wait until something tragic happens.
