Routinely Grit Roads Leading to Boldmere Infant & Junior Schools
Routinely grit St. Michaels Road, Warden Road and Cofield Road in Sutton Coldfield, to improve safety for residents, children and parents.
Why is this important?
700 pupils aged 4 to 11 travel to Boldmere Infant and Junior schools every day.
The road loop leading to the schools goes downhill, round 2 sharp bends and uphill. When it snows or is icy, this compacts and it's usually the last area to retain ice, making it very hazardous indeed to drive the roads and walk on the pavements.
My children and I have slipped countless times, and watched cars skid, even when driving slowly.
Many of the houses on these roads do not have driveways so residents and parents park on the road, leading to traffic problems on the school run.
Whilst many children walk to school, ice and snow make an already hazardous area even more treacherous and it's only a matter of time before something awful happens.
Please sign this petition and ask Birmingham City Council to remove this needless hazard from the lives of 700 children, their care-givers and local residents.
