Revealing that the school is located within a 40mph zone on Tarry Lane, Councillor Laverty added: “Traffic at the school can be quite busy and with the growing residential nature of the area this will only increase. The safety of pupils is the school’s utmost priority, and their request for additional safety measures is entirely reasonable.

“I will be engaging with the Department for Infrastructure encouraging them to carry out an urgent traffic assessment of the area. I am hopeful that the department will work collaboratively with the school community to find a sustainable solution.”
