The current and proposed admission rules mean that Eldwick School takes children from further away who will inevitably be driven to school and those who live a short walk away are turned down and have to be driven to Bingley.
Illegal parking around the school and on Swan Avenue is causing serious problems at the moment as it is hard for drivers and pedestrians to see each other. The entrance to Swan Avenue is particularly dangerous as it is frequently blocked where children have to cross over. This prevents larger vehicles such as fire engines and ambulances getting passed at all. The council and the police do not seem interested in doing anything about this.
Health and fitness are very important for physical development. Walking to school should be actively encouraged not prevented as it is now.
