Petition Ilkley Grammar School, British Rail and the school bus company to stop school buses turning and picking up school children on Station Approach, Prospect Road and Station Road Burley in Wharfedale.
Why is this important?
Children standing in the road, overcrowding pavements, pedestrians forced into the road, buses overhang pavement when turning. High level of risk. Children are at severe risk with no safety measures in place, Station Approach is a private road and not routinely gritted, rush hour traffic hazards, congestion. I have witnessed children being 'nudged' by the busses. The road becomes single file when the buses are picking up.
