News Put your safety
fears in writing HOLLINGBOURNEParish Council is urging worried parents to put their concerns about the lack of a safe crossing for school children on the Ashford Road in writing. The parish council says concern
has grown about youngsters cross- ing the busy road to catch their school bus. Itwants to make a formal request
to Kent Highway Services for a footbridge between the round- abouts at Leeds Castle and the Mer- cure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel. A spokesman said: “We feel that
the roads are far too busy and dan- gerous for village children and other pedestrians to be crossing, and a bridge would be ideal. “However, we need written evi-
dence of people’s experiences, es- pecially to reach the bus stop. This information will add weight to our request for a footbridge, which without support is fairly unlikely to be considered.” Comments should be emailed to
Vicki Smith, the parish clerk, at
pchollingbourne@gmail.com or put through the letterbox at the Card- well Pavilion, Greenway Court Road.
