For many years the parents of Avondale Park Primary School have been aware of the potential danger to our children from traffic on roads around the school, especially Sirdar Road.

In the past requests for a zebra crossing outside school have been declined by the local authority.

We do not want to wait until a child is seriously hurt or killed to address this problem.

This issue also affects many local families who cross the road regularly walking to the popular park and to other local schools.
