ROAD SAFETY

Many constituents have been in touch with me about the absence of safe crossing points for school children, as well as pedestrians, within the vicinity of Wales High School (B6059) and Ryton Road, North Anston around the Bulkhead Bus Stop.

I have written to Sharon Kemp, Chief Executive of Rotherham Council, following two reported incidents of pupils at Wales High School being struck by vehicles. Thankfully both pupils are ok, however one did sustain injuries.

I am pressing the council to ensure there are adequate safety measures in both of these areas, to guarantee the safety of school children. This is an urgent matter given mornings and nights are beginning to darken.

I will provide an update once I receive a response.
