Every child, regardless of age or ability, deserves the right to access their school safely. As parents and concerned community members, we have a responsibility to ensure the journey to and from school is as secure as possible for our children. 

The path leading to the gate on the school's Northridge Way road-side is hazardous, and there is no pedestrian crossing close to the school entrance. This situation endangers children every day, as they navigate their way to school. Supporting this request will significantly reduce accidents that could occur due to the lack of proper infrastructure.

We are calling on local authorities to take immediate action by installing a pedestrian crossing close to the school entrance and improving the existing pathway leading to the school gate. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, pedestrian crossings reduce the risk of accidents by over 50%. Implementing these changes will not only safeguard our children but also promote a community culture that prioritizes pedestrian safety.

Consider the rise in traffic and the number of vehicles in our area, which increases the urgency for this development. As responsible adults, we must reduce the risk of harm to our children. Studies show that improving pedestrian pathways encourages walking and reduces car dependency, leading to healthier and more environmentally sustainable communities.

We urge you to support this petition to push for these vital improvements. By signing, you’ll be helping to provide a safer school route for every child in our community. Every signature counts towards making this necessary change happen for our children’s safety and peace of mind.
