Within weeks of the new school opening, the police had complained about the dangerous traffic situation for the children. As of now (January 2015) the corrupt LibDem Executive at Stockport Council, the Chief Executive and the Monitoring Officer all insist I am being vexatious for raising this issue. I am the mother of a child who died in a road accident. One of the Executive Councillors refusing to disclose on grounds of vexatiousness killed her passenger whilst driving dangerously.

Jim,
I agree, I didn’t realise until I took over the file recently just how big the school is and how limited the drop off facilities. But better to raise it now than after the school opens and the kids are getting all muddy getting out on the verge. Then the cost of any remedial works would be likely to fall to the Area Committee who probably wouldn’t thank me for it.

Sheila raised why this issue has been raised now and not with your other highways views within the committee report. She was having a dig that it was short notice.
