School bans cars from its gates - and parents say they couldn't be happier
Parents say they're over the moon after cars were banned at pick up and drop off times around a Bury school.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service visited the school at home time on Wednesday, January 18, the third day of operation for ‘school street’, and found parents and staff were delighted with the way it is going. “Having the area outside the school vehicle free is not only safer, it means the air is cleaner and it also supports our drive for more children to walk to school.”
Liz Horrocks, was picking up her daughters aged five and three from the school. She said: “It does make you feel safer, knowing it won’t be clogged with cars outside the gates, especially haveing really young ones with me.”
