We’ve now reached 967 signatures in just over a week — an incredible show of strength from our community. 🙌 Thank you to everyone who has already signed and supported.

But we’re not stopping here. Let’s push together to reach the 1,000 mark — a huge milestone that will send an even stronger message to South Lanarkshire Council. Please share the petition widely with friends, family, and colleagues so we can get there quickly.

To hold South Lanarkshire Council accountable, we are also encouraging supporters to take two further steps:

📝 Complete our short community survey

This gives us real-life experiences from parents, pupils, and residents. Responses can be anonymous, and together they help us build an accurate picture to present to councillors, MSPs, MPs, and the press.

👉 https://forms.gle/qoUucuLxMtGDLviP6

📑 Submit a Freedom of Information (FOI) request

By submitting FOIs, we can push the council to release details of how this walking route was assessed. The more people who request this, the harder it is for the council to ignore.

👉 FOI requests can be sent to foi.request@southlanarkshire.gov.uk

✅ A ready-to-use FOI template is available on our Facebook page: Sandford Safety First – School Transport Campaign. Please copy/paste and send.

Every step we take together adds weight to our case. Thank you to all who have already contributed — your voices are making a real difference. 🙏
