Every morning is a nightmare trying to get across that roundabout with a buggy. The traffic just doesnt stop and they come round the bend way too fast. We need a crossing before someone gets killed.

The route to school needs to be made much safer. I have seen many close encounters on the current route. Drivers coming from Stafford exiting the round-about have no idea there is a crossing immediately after the bend. I have seen kids dash between cars driving over 30 miles an hour as they too were unaware of a car coming around the corner. Furthermore it is treacherous for any parent/carer trying to get multiple kids across,
Don't let it be too late before you act!

To build a new school but not to ensure a safe route for children and their parents to get there was poor judgements.

These requests being put to the council are not unreasonable in order to keep children & parents safe. Should in my opinion be made a priority before an accident happens, not as a reaction to a serious incident.

I have personally witnessed quite a few near misses with children nearly ran over with the cars on many occasions there really needs to be something put in place as the cars drive very fast down this road and I'm very surprised no one has been seriously injured or worse .there needs to be traffic calming measures put into place to make it safe for these kids going too and coming home from school before it's too late . I really wouldn't like there to be a fatality on this road before someone sits up and takes notice . Please thank you

A new crossing isn't a lot to ask. The children's safety is paramount.

This is urgently needed before a child is seriously hurt. There is also the need for railings leading upto Veritas Academy as the cycle path is right next to a very busy main road and is an accident waiting to happen.
