The roads surrounding Todholm Primary School are treacherous during drop off and pick up times. To make matters worse, people are parking on the pavements to each side of the school causing pedestrian obstruction and jeopardising the safety of our children.
If you'd like to see safety barriers erected, to provide our children (and their parents/carers) with a safe thoroughfare to walk on, please sign our petition.
Our children thank you for choosing to protect them.

I have sent a formal request to the local council office to review the traffic management plan for the school perimeter. We are currently waiting for a departmental representative to confirm a site visit to assess the pavement obstructions firsthand.

Don't know how many times myself and my children have nearly been run over on pavement as cars bump up on pavement at speed and look at pedestrians like it's there fault. I do have a car and am able to find spaces no problem in surrounding streets no need to be on pavements at school
This has to be done immediately I don't know why the council haven't done it before now!! My child was knocked down there and it will happen again if it's not fixed!!!
Its a nightmare when the school comes out as I have to get the bus with my granddaughter, the bus cannot get to the bus stop because of cars who bump up onto the pavement .
The cars not only cause a hazard for children but also cause a lot of the congestion at this time! Barriers would prevent this from happening as clearly telling parents repeatedly not to do it is not effective - they know they shouldn't be parking there but continue to do it anyway!
I am grateful for the council's offer to repaint yellow lines and zig-zags. However, I am not convinced that it will tackle the issue and would prefer something more obvious and restrictive to be put in place. If barriers are erected it will make it impossible for cars to park on the pavements and should solve the issue.
This has been an issue for years but you always get the parents who think that the rules don't apply to them. So annoying yet again this year I've seen kids almost being run over by cars pulling up or driving off of pavements
Very dangerous road

Yellow lines are not going to make a difference a permanent barrier is the only solution. My son was almost knocked down on the pavement by a reversing car which had parked mounted on the pavement. Complete laziness and lack of considersation for the safely of our children.
