PETITION UPDATE I have reworded the petition slightly, removed any unnecessary negativity as I do feel for the catchment areas parents who have been kept in the dark for so long. I have also added this piece to the petition information regarding getting to the whitton site. "All the Teddington, Fullwell and Twickenham parents who will then suffer when they have to fight traffic every morning to try and get their children to school, along with all the other parents ferrying their children to the other FIVE schools within that one small area (approximately 2,672 children) across the A316 and up Hospital Bridge Road and straight into traffic hell. It's all very we'll LBRUT stating that they would provide buses (in talks with Transport for London) to ferry their children to school - you'd need at least 10 buses !! - 10 buses coming along that route is laughable, if you lived here you'd know why. Not to mention the winter months when it's cold and dark, trying that journey by whatever transport means would be fraught with danger, especially Year 7 children. I have two children and I would be worried sick. It's too far to walk to school, cycling that route would be suicidal, if you drive then I feel for you if Lord True gets his way. School numbers in Whitton site locality Twickenham Academy, 766 Bishop Perrin Primary School, 210 St Edmunds Catholic Primary School, 418 Nelson primary School, 467 Heathfield infants, 425 healthfield juniors, 386 Total 2,672 pupils in the vicinity of the Whitton site, not to mention The Heathlands School just 0.9 mile over in Hounslow Borough with 1,810 pupils.
