Traffic conditions around St Mark’s Junior School have been reviewed on a number of occasions. Several road safety measures have already been implemented at the main entrance, including the installation of pencil bollards, enhanced road markings, coloured roundels, and a pedestrian crossing to improve safety during school hours.

The entrance on Fernwood Way is a secondary/side entrance located within a residential housing estate. This entrance already has road markings in place indicating no parking at the school gate. Due to the residential nature of Fernwood Way and the number of private property entrances along this road, the Council’s ability to introduce additional traffic or road safety interventions at this location is limited.

It remains the responsibility of the school to determine which entrance should be used in the interest of pupil safety. Given the existing constraints, no further engineering measures are currently feasible at the Fernwood Way entrance.
