Unfortunately we have had a complaint from a local resident regarding drivers coming out of school. This resident is very concerned about driving, particularly on Laurel Avenue and Ash Avenue, which may not be considering the fact that children could be walking or playing in this area. We would appreciate it if all drivers can drive with caution in the streets around school and thank those parents/carers who do.
