The A520 Cheddleton Road is a very busy main road
which many children must cross to get to All Saints First School
Leek. Former Head Teacher Isabelle Smith asked Charlotte to help
with their campaign for a safe crossing. Charlotte pursued the
County Council and together with the school succeeded in having the
traffic lights and crossing installed.
Parents subsequently expressed concerns about the
timing of the lights which did not allow sufficient time for
children to cross the road safely. After another meeting at the
school with Charlotte, parents, governors and Head Teacher Sharon
Kelly, County Council officers were finally persuaded to make the
necessary timing adjustments. And a full safety audit has been
carried out.
