The last meeting of the County Councillor and our MP that took place without community involvement, resolved that other than the Bike Walk Scoot Scheme there was little that could be done re the issues with parking around the Primary and Nursery School. However, as local residents and with children at the school or who have been at the school, we are only to well aware of how difficult a situation this is.
As District Cllrs we have continued to receive concerns from residents and feel it is important we not only listen but act as well. We have had suggestions for solutions and listened to both parents and residents. Cllr Heinink and myself have in liaison with the local police team and highways for over a year been considering some solutions which may at least help to keep Cooper Road from becoming gridlocked. It is in our view not enough to say nothing can be done.
It is we believe going to need a number of solutions to come together to resolve some of these longstanding issues surrounding the school and will require organisations to work together to find resolution.To try and help move this forward Colin, Penny and I will be sending out letters to the houses in the area which will contain a link to here to access the survey online. We will make hard copies available to anyone who needs one. Please let us know your views when it drops through your door over the next fortnight.
