Ron Hogg Police & Crime Commissioner will be visiting the following school at the times indicated, when there will also be Police Officers, PCSO’s & Traffic Wardens present.
Parents and Guardians are requeasted to park more considerately for the safety of the children and the residents who live near schools. Please do not park in front of driveways, on corners or close to junctions.Do not block drop kerbs, park on the pavement or double park, and no stopping on the Yellow Zig Zag Lines outside Schools.
We also ask all drivers, when in the area of a school, to reduce their speed and drive with much more care.
