The lack of parking spaces and inadequate footpath and crossing point outside St Michael’s Primary School, Withyham, East Sussex, is a cause for concern for parents of children at the school and local residents alike. It leads to dangerous driving and the general consensus amongst parents is that it is only a matter of time before there is a serious accident. This situation could be improved by making additional lay-bys using environmentally friendly grass-crete on the existing verge, which would provide safe parking places without the verge being destroyed as is currently the case. In addition to this, providing a proper pavement between the entrance to Balls Green and the school, and narrowing the road at the crossing point would greatly increase the children’s safety on their way to and from school. If you are in agreement with the above, please sign the petition. Copies will be sent to Charles Hendry, MP for Wealden, East Sussex County Council, Wealden Council and Withyham Parish Council.

The local councils are still dodging our emails while our children continue to face those lethal traffic conditions every single morning. I am finished with their bureaucratic excuses and delay tactics because this road is a genuine death trap that requires immediate action.

The momentum behind this plea is finally forcing officials at East Sussex County Council to pay attention. These pencil pushers have ignored our children long enough and they will not be able to dismiss us when we finally drop this pile of names on their desks.

Fix the road before a tragedy happens. Simple as that.

Lived in the village for years and I avoid driving past the school at all costs during term time. Very dangerous.

Its a total nightmare trying to drop the kids off in the morning. Someone is going to get hurt soon if nothing changes.

Had a near miss last week with someone speeding through the crossing area. Scary stuff.

SO MUCH DANGER. The grass verge is a mud pit anyway so turning it into a proper layby is just common sense.

The traffic here is actually insane at 8:30. Needs a proper pavement asap for the little ones walking.
