Provide a Designated School Crossing and Patrol for Iwade School

We the undersigned petition the council to We petition Kent County Council to provide a designated school crossing and/or a School Crossing Patrol (Lollipop Person) outside Iwade School on School Lane

The safety of our children is currently at risk due to the following factors:
Increased Traffic Volume: Significant housing development in Iwade has led to a surge in vehicle movements during peak school hours.

Hazardous Crossing Conditions: The current layout of School Lane, combined with high levels of pavement parking and congestion, creates poor visibility for both drivers and young pedestrians.

Encouraging Active Travel: A safe, managed crossing point is essential to support the school’s commitment to "Sustainable Travel," encouraging more families to walk to school rather than drive.

Preventative Action: We believe a formal crossing presence is necessary to prevent serious accidents before they occur, rather than reacting after a tragedy.

An immediate safety assessment also needs conducting

This ePetition runs from 13/02/2026 to 14/05/2026.
