The local council has officially approved the implementation of traffic calming measures on Shawhurst Lane. I am deeply appreciative of the 121 individuals who supported this effort to ensure the safety of our students. We will continue to monitor the progress of these installations to ensure they are completed as …

The children who attend The Coppice Primary School and Woodrush High School are daily placed in danger due to drivers using excessive speed and driving on the foot path. We are going to petition the local council to allow at the least one of the following:
A Zebra crossing, install speed bumps, lower the speed restriction on Shawhurst road, allow the secondary planned entrance/exit in Forest Way to go ahead.
The local council say a fatality has to happen before any measures can be looked at, we say who are you to say one of our children has to be seriously or fatally injured before you act!!
Please support us to keep all our children safe.

I am currently preparing a formal submission for the council to address their stance on the current safety protocols. Your detailed accounts of near misses on Shawhurst Lane provide the necessary evidence to challenge their official policy.

The momentum behind this petition confirms that our community view the current state of Shawhurst Lane as an unacceptable risk to our children. I am encouraged by the commitment shown by so many residents who agree that preventative action is long overdue.

on walking my daughter to school this morning, 28 march, myself and another parent were involved in near miss at the top of beaudesert junction to shawhurst lane. seriously this junction is screaming out for a proper crossing or a crossing person. when crossing you are approached by traffic from 3 different directions, some of which at considerable speed. great school, grealt
When my children attended this school (and they are now 28 & 30) I witnessed a young girl get run over. She had a fractured pelvis and was off school poorly for weeks. How can they justify themselves by waiting for a fatality. Would they say that if it was one of their children or grandchildren going to the school? Disgraceful!! Shame on you local council
Just to let you know, I have had a letter back from our MP, he is taking the issue up with the chief executive of Worcester cc highways. He added that he was very concerned with the comments made by the council in relation to 'a fatality before anything was considered'. He will write back when he has a response.
On two separate occasions some idiot has parked their car on the footpath resulting me having to go around the car with a 4 year old and my baby in his pram and the parent who parked their car was running late to pick their child up from school what ever next!!!! Something needs to be done to sort the traffic problem out.
My son has nearly been knocked over several times by cars driving along the pavement. On one occasion a car missed him by centimetres. We can't cross Shawhurst lane via the lollipop lady because parking and driving on May lane makes it too dangerous to cross. Please don't let one of our children get killed before this is addressed.
