Rolleston School Road Works Update 25 Feb 2020

What’s going on? There are several road work sites around Rolleston School formajor projects:· Tennyson Street upgrade as part of the town centre works· Markham Way temporary road extension· Health Hub on Norman Kirk Drive (starting March)

How will the road works affect us? The road works will impact how you can get to and from the school and it may take a little more time during school drop off and pick up times.

What should we do with this info? Look at the map to check:· if there are any changes to the usual route for your child if they bike, walk or scoot to school and talk them through it.· the access points to the school and where you can park to walk in.

Important things to note.· The kea crossings on Rolleston Drive and Tennyson Street will still operate as usual.

· There will be a new kea crossing across the temporary MarkhamWay extension to get children safely round to the Rolleston Drivekea crossing.

· The Norman Kirk Drive back gate access (next to the closedcarpark) is still available for pedestrians.

· The new carpark on Norman Kirk Drive has a small kiss and goonto the walkway into school.

· The car parks/bus parks on Tennyson Street will operate as per usual.

· Tennyson Street is closed to cars from Moore Street to the police station until the road works are complete at the end of June.Safety Notes

· Please drive slowly around the school and be mindful of all children making their way to and from school.

· Ensure your child is wearing their helmet when biking and scooting and wearing a hi viz vest (available from school).
