Every day, our children and educators travel to and from school, and their safety should be our utmost priority. The accumulation of potholes around our educational institutions poses a significant risk to this safety. These potholes not only damage vehicles but also put cyclists and pedestrians, including our children, in danger.

Statistics reveal that more than 10% of accidents around school zones are due to poorly maintained roads. Potholes increase the chances of accidents, causing drivers to swerve and creating hazardous situations for children crossing roads. Furthermore, damaged roads lead to increased vehicle maintenance costs, negatively impacting families and staff members.

The current state of the roads also affects school buses, causing delays and potential safety risks during transportation. This situation is unacceptable when we consider that safe road infrastructures are fundamental for creating environments conducive to education.

The solution lies in immediate and comprehensive repair work. The local council should prioritize deploying resources to repair these potholes promptly. By doing so, we not only enhance the safety for everyone who travels to and from the school, but we also invest in the long-term wellbeing of the community.

We urge the local authorities to take swift action to restore our roads to safe and acceptable conditions. Please lend your voice to this cause by signing this petition and making our school zones safer for all.
