E-Petition to Monmouthshire County Council details

St Arvans Village Area - Home-to-school transport

We the undersigned petition the Monmouthshire County Council to reinstate the fully funded home-school-transport for all the primary aged children who attend The Dell School in St Arvans. The speed and volume of traffic which the children will be exposed to is a risk, the road crossing is not safe, and the footpath is hazardous.

* Children attending The Dell School from the age of 4 are expected to walk up to 2 miles each way.

* The emotional and physical stress of this walk, in all weathers, will negatively impact their mental health, physical health and ability to effectively engage with their learning when in school.

* There are major safety concerns from the children and parents around the safety of the road crossing and footpath, they are expected to walk. The crossing is not suitably lit and wide enough. The path is unlit, uneven and extremely narrow in parts with the close proximity to a high number of cars. In the case of an emergency there is a section of the footpath, which is obscured from view, from the road with no easy way to access it, if needed.

* The children and parents have safety concerns with regards to walking past the racecourse on race day and the days following.
