Pupils of a school plagued by illegal parking and dangerous driving have delivered their own plea for safety measures to town hall bosses - backed by their headteacher.

Alongside him was mum Claire Knowles, who handed over a petition bearing 536 names branding the problems at the junction of Stoke Avenue and Taylor Road as ‘unacceptable’.
Mr Cash said his school received ‘almost daily reports of near misses involving our pupils’. “The causes vary wildly from parking that obstructs the views of other road users to very dangerous driving,” he said. “Despite numerous attempts to physically police the area with school staff to remind road users of their duties within the law, a familiar pattern is that there is a slight improvement and then it very quickly reverts back to the dangerous driving and parking we see around the school, putting the lives of our children and the community at risk.” READ MORE: Andy Burnham announces Bee Network rail plans to be brought forward And he quoted the words of one pupil sitting in the public gallery with his dad.
