Maidenhill Primary School Pupils Take Action to Boost Road Safety

Lodged by Jackson Carlaw Standard Motion 28 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates pupils from Maidenhill Primary School, in Newton Mearns, on their work to develop visual road safety designs and messaging to be put in place within the local housing development; recognises that the developer, Taylor Wimpey, organised a competition in which pupils were encouraged to create artistic designs, with the aim of encouraging motorists to be mindful of their speed, and which could then be installed on signage within two particular sections of the Maidenhill development; understands that seven of the pupils' designs have been amalgamated into a banner that is now on display, and that the winning entry features a smiling snail with the caption, "Be Slow and Happy", and notes that a new community on the Maidenhill site has been established in recent years, with builders, Taylor Wimpey and Cala Homes, creating a range of new family homes, with the primary school and a nursery at the heart of the development.
