How many people (although I agree they have a point) have seen cars ticking over near a school has NOTHING to do with it whatsoever.
Council's could not care less about child health or safety.
Chris Grayling, Transport Secretary, said:We are determined to crack down on drivers who pollute our communities by leaving their engines running, particularly outside school gates where our children are breathing in this toxic air.
I can smell that from where I am.
Anyone who believes that load of rubbish, or the fact that it has nothing to do with raking in millions in motorist fines is deluded, or at the very least not worried sick about their kids crossing the road with no warden.
All the if's and but's are what councils could do, instead of cracking down on fines that are being missed out on, and raising them into the bargain.
The same upstanding pillars of our communities are happy to axe school crossing wardens services. The school crossing wardens job outside our village infant school has just been axed.
So it is ok for a child to get knocked down or killed crossing the road outside our village infant school, as long as the child was not
"breathing in this toxic air" at the time.
Makes me sick.
