Gas works outside of school

We have been advised by Cadent, that the current works being undertaken along Burnley Road, will be outside the school for 2 weeks, starting on Monday 24^th March. There will be 5-way traffic control to co-ordinate the flow of traffic, along with the movement of the pedestrian crossing to slightly further up the road. Mrs Dobson will still be out as the crossing patrol, and will have access to a temporary traffic-controlled crossing, to allow the children to arrive at, and leave, the site safely.

The work is part of a national program to update and upgrade old metallic gas pipes and is necessary to ensure the security and safety of the gas supply in the area. The school supply of gas will not be affected.

We know that this will cause significant disruption to the school access, and create traffic delays on Burnley Road, so please plan your route accordingly, and allow extra time for your journey.

This will take us up to the Easter holidays, so we look forward to better access when we return to school later in April.

Your patience and cooperation during the period of work would be greatly appreciated.
