Letter: It's a dangerous walk to school

Letter: I am a student at Grove School and have been concerned, along with many other students, about the safety of people walking to Grove School.

I am forced to take dangerous and unnecessary risks just to walk along a road to the school.

Cars approach with no or minimal warning for pedestrians and sometimes it can take at least three to five minutes just to get a few seconds gap in traffic in which to cross over.

There have been close shaves before.

I myself have been nearly run over by a car.

It seems as though the council has turned a blind eye to this problem, as it has been raised several times in our school council meetings and taken up with Shropshire Council.

However officials say that it is too expensive to deal with this.

I was unaware that both children and adults' lives would be risked every school day just to save a few thousand pounds at most.
