Ewyas Harold primary school, fabric wanted, library matters, Macmillan coffee morning, Taize prayer, harvest festivals and concert

8:00am Thursday 29th September 2011 in Ewyas Harold

PRIMARY SCHOOL - During the Summer holidays there was a meeting between representatives of the school, Ewyas Harold group parish council, the local authority, the highways and the police when it was agreed to further explore options for reducing congestion outside the school at dropping off and picking up times. These might involve alterations to the school car park and/or the road outside the school. However all options are certain to involve considerable costs and are therefore unlikely to be financially viable in the foreseeable future. The school is making every effort to encourage other ways of arriving at school eg walking, cycling, car sharing. In the meantime it was agreed that if parents do drive to school car parking in the bay at the front of school should be parallel to the kerb and not 'end on' as this causes obstruction to other road users.
