Gwyn Jones Primary School, Forest Road, School Gate Closure

The school Gate (Forest Road) will close permanently on 12.05.2014. There has been no consultation with parents, neither have any details of the review been given to parents. Therefore we are somewhat perplexed, as to why after 20 plus years these gates now present a danger.

A number of parents believe that this action will create greater risk at the Hainualt Road entrance, leading to more congestion and danger for our children.

We believe that there are alternatives to enable a safer school entrance on Forest Road. One of those being for the Council to introduce 20 minute stop off periods, in the parking bays along Forest Road. This would enable parents to park safely without causing congestion.
