Maudene School



Boring Tarmac
This may look like three pictures of boring tarmac, but to the parents and teachers of Maundene school it means a lot more. Councillor Bright and myself used part of last years ward funds to cover the cost of this work. We were approached by parents saying children were getting filthy walking on the bank to get into school. The teachers complained the school was getting filthy because the children were walking through mud. The main problem was there was little access for a number of children all trying to get into school at the same time. So naturally the children went down the muddy bank. Also there were large flints which the children tripped over which ended up with a few sore knees and cracked heads.
I think the next project there, with the help of parents and pupils,is to tidy the rest of the bank.
A few of us did do a litter pick there last year and we have put a litter bin by the bus stop, but I think quite a bit more needs to be done. Any ideas?
