Parish council At the meeting of


Simonstone Parish Council, during a


public discussion, chairman of St Peter’s School gover­ nors, Mr John Aizle- wood, spoke of their concern about car parking on School Lane at the start and finish time of school.


The governors are in the process of draw­ ing up a “Travel to School Plan” which it is hoped will ease the problem. The question of obtain­ ing land to provide a car park for use by the school will also be investigated.
