IS THE COUNCIL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY ACT?

Dear Ed

Once again I have taken both mine and my two young daughters' lives in my hands and walked them to school this morning. 

On approaching the roundabout at the entrance to the Churchill School, I noticed other mothers standing well away from the edge of the road where they intended to cross, as they watched in horror at cars literally sliding sideways towards the roundabout, cars that could very easily have mounted the pavement and hit a child. 

I am SO angry that we go through the same routine every year. Why can't we at least have a gritting bunker by the entrance to the school? 

I said the same last year, and I apologise for repeating myself, but very soon I will simply not bother taking my children into school when the roads are like this.

It seems that a lot of people are complaining but are we being heard? Our councillor needs to sort this out NOW for the sake of the safety of our children.
