There will be increased traffic heading in and out of the Junior School tomorrow – Wednesday 21st February. This will occur outside of school drop off and collection times, no disruption is expected to the school day.
This will mean that during the day there will be an impact on the surrounding roads as some trucks may wait off site to enter as soon as they are able to. Kier have advised they are planning to pour the concrete base for the Junior School’s new building, so there will be a larger than normal volume of vehicles expected this day delivering the required quantities of concrete.
As lorries may be waiting in the vicinity of the school at both ‘drop off’ and ‘pick up’ time we would ask anyone accessing the school to be extra vigilant.
Full Council was held on Monday 15 January, with 2 members of the public present for the Public Participation raising issues regarding the Guided Bus service. For draft minutes look here. Items of note:
