We the undersigned are urging the Council to reconsider its decision to place a school crossing patrol outside Bournville School Primary and Secondary provision.

We feel our children, especially those in the Primary Provision, are put at risk every morning and afternoon because of having to cross the road (Hay Green Lane) to enter the school grounds.

The road is narrow and there is a blind corner which does not facilitate visibility in order to assess whether it is safe to cross or not.

Drivers park and drop off their children wherever they deem suitable for themselves with no regard to the safety of our young children.

For those of us that walk our children to school we are getting tired and are sick of the worry we endure having to make sure our children get across the road safely!
