Polly has backed a campaign by the School Council at Holy Trinity School in Broadstairs for new road safety measures to tackle speeding and unsafe driving, and has written to Kent County Council to support their calls for a new pelican crossing.
Polly said:
“I’m proud to support the brilliant road safety campaign led by Holy Trinity’s brilliant School Council. The road outside the school has a long history of dangerous driving, with vehicles speeding throughout the day, which is why the pupils are calling for a pelican crossing to help keep everyone safe.
“When I visited the school today, we discussed the next steps in their campaign, including encouraging friends, families and neighbours to join them in calling for action. I’ve already written to Kent County Council to call for the new pelican crossing, and I look forward to joining the children at their next peaceful protest and continuing to support them in their efforts to make the road outside Holy Trinity safer for everyone.”
