Ladydell and Chesswood Road Safety - Online Questionnaire
This questionnaire is open and available to complete until Friday 9th October 12:00p.m.
You may complete the questionnaire on this page or follow this LINK to open the questionnaire in a new page. It is typically easier to do this when using a smaller device e.g. a tablet or mobile phone.
Following a range of concerns shared by parents and local residents, over time, about Ladydell and Chesswood Road collection and drop off arrangements, school leaders have taken an number of additional actions recently to reduce risks for children and families. This online feedback form has been set up to capture parent views about Ladydell and Chesswood Road safety as they have been somewhat controversial. We would like to
- gain feedback about near misses you may have experienced or witnessed;
- to determine whether the actions we are taking have made a positive difference and
- whether we should continue or stop patrolling and intervening highways;
- consider any other alternatives to improve child and family safety at drop off and collection times.
It is likely that this form will take 15-20 mins to complete. The form needs to be completed in one sitting i.e. it cannot be saved.

Park and stride - ZonesChesswood Road - Main Entrance Typical Walking Times 100m = @2m 20 secs 200m = @4m 40 secs 300m = @7m 400m = @9m 20 secs Please click the image to open it in a new page and look in more detail at local roads available within different walking times. When using the Chesswood Rd Main entrance it is unrealistic to park North of the train line hence the red hatched area. We ask all parents to recognise that parking at or very near < 100m to the school is unrealistic and increases road safety risks for children. PLEASE get into the habit of finding a space 100m + away from the school gate. Enjoy a brief walk with your child. |
