Most Inverurie Academy pupils walk to school and back every day and they should have a safe route to school. However, this is currently not safe as indicated by a recent accident involving a pupil. There is nothing to assist the pupils to cross Victoria Street to the Academy safely.
On Monday 21st March 2016 my daughter, Morgan, was walking to school as normal when she was hit by a car travelling down Victoria Street towards Wetherspoons. Had there been a safe crossing place and a 20mph speed restriction, this would not have happened.
Thankfully she was very lucky as the car was not travelling at speed but had the driver been going faster or in a bigger vehicle, she certainly would've been more seriously hurt.
We need the council to make this route much safer before someone else gets seriously injured or killed. This affects everyone currently at the academy and those who will attend in the future.
Please join me in petitioning to Aberdeenshire Council to reduce the speed limit and get them to provide an official crossing to enable pupils to cross safely to the Academy.
We need as many people as possible to sign this petition so please support this cause and share with as many people as you can.
Thank you.
