The school needs the help of drivers to support a voluntary one-way system during school terms at drop off (8.45-9.15) and pick up times (3.15-3.45). The route would be in down Oxenholme Lane, then keeping left on the Village Green and turning left after the church, up Helm Lane.
The roads around school become extremely congested during these times – blocked junctions, impatient manoeuvres and residents having difficulty leaving and returning to their homes. It can also be an anxious time for the safety of children walking to and from school.
A voluntary one-way system is about co-operation between the school and the village, not about imposing restrictions on residents. With your support there can be a real difference to daily life in Natland – less stress, improved safety and the fostering of a considerate community spirit.
Thank you all for your understanding and support.
