Well done to the Squirrels team this week.

We ask politely that parents please park respectfully and within the law.

We’ve had a complaint from a member of the public about inconsiderate parking at the entrance to the WMC, meaning that the road is partially blocked making it difficult for other drivers to see or judge the oncoming traffic on the main road. The main road, Shrewsbury Street, also has cars parked at length causing a blockage for cars trying to get safely through the village. We recognise that this is just a pinch point times throughout the day, but it is making the main road more unsafe at busy times.

Please don’t park at the entrance to the WMC, this not only blocks the footpath for our children, but it also causes a hazard on the main road. It is not safe and could lead to a dangerous or potentially catastrophic accident. Our children deserve a safe route to school, we all need to play our part to enable this. We have referred this to the local police who will continue to monitor our parking.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Mrs Lyall, Headteacher.
