Provide a pedestrian/school crossing to outside of the school on the main road

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Create a crossing to improve the safety of the children crossing in the area as it is a main road and there have been many incidents and close calls for children not being able to see around the corner when cars approach fast by the school.
The school does not have the funds to be able to hire a lollipop person or anyone to help with pedestrian crossing. By putting a zebra crossing or child friendly area to cross this would reduce risk and families in the area would feel more safe.
