School/Pre-School Crossing patrol
Get a “lollipop person” before and after school by the duck pond coming out of Notley Green Primary school and crossing to the little Notley’s preschool, to help ensure that children can cross the road safely amidst the busy school time traffic coming into and out of the village.
Why is this important?
Recently my nephew was knocked down by a car outside of Notley Green Primary School, and Little Notley’s Preschool. It was just between the duck pond coming from the school and crossing towards Little Notley’s Pre-school.
My nephew was extremely lucky and the car stopped in time and he was not badly hurt. However he did end up with a few bruises and was very frightened by the incident:
However, if this had happened to a smaller child or if the car had not stopped in time this could have been extremely scary.
The traffic that goes through this area of the estate is very busy before school starts and after it finishes. There are often cars parked everywhere including on the double yellow lines and over the drop curb crossings directly in front of the school. The traffic coming into and out of the estate is also quite fast during these times.
There are no speed restrictions in place, no slow down signs and no official crossings to make it easier to cross the road safely with young children.
