Parents at Pontprennau Primary School say they are annoyed the school no longer has a crossing patrol officer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Their patrol officer – Vicky O’Neil – has been moved to Radyr Primary School to replace somebody who is on long term sick leave.<\/p>\n
Parents say the crossing outside the Primary School is unsafe as cars travel quickly down the road.<\/p>\n
Paul Bricknell, who lives in Pontprennau says, “We’ve had the crossing patrol officer outside the school since October, but now she has been taken away to service another crossing.<\/p>\n
“It’s a very very busy road at school times, particularly in the mornings as it is a main commuter road as well as a residential road. There is an awful lot of traffic that passes this way on its way to the M4 and the by-pass.<\/p>\n
“The problem is so bad we have had to involve the local police community officers. It is really important that we get the kids protected from all this traffic.”<\/p>\n
Dianne Rees, Conservative councillor of Pontprennau and Old St Mellons says, “The reason we have a mobile officer is because we still don’t have signage and a 20 mph zone in place. In fact there was some suggestion that we might get a permanent school safety officer by April.”<\/p>\n
“There is an enormous amount of traffic particularly through traffic to get to junction 30 of the M4, that is a particularly concerning route. I have even had Officers out here to look at it.”<\/p>\n
