Think! slow down and spare a child

Police Community Support Officers (PCSO) were waiting this morning for parents to arrive at Wye Primary School and Wye Under Fives Pre-School. Officers from the Ashford Community Safety Unit were there to deal with inconsiderate parking and to ensure the safety of children as they walked to school. The PCSOs had to remind some parents, for the safety of the children, not to park on the zigzag lines outside the school entrance in Bridge Street, and to watch their speed when driving into and around the Village Hall car park. This is a recurring problem. Last year the Parish Council installed speed bumps in the car park to make drivers slow down as they approach the school gate and the Village Hall entrance.
