ROAD safety is expected to improve now a new entrance to High View Primary Learning Centre has finally been given the approval by health and safety officials.
The entrance on Western Terrace was supposed to be ready last October but has only just been allowed to open.
School Business Manager Tim Marsh said: "We had to wait for it to comply with building regulations before it could be opened.
"We have been waiting more than a term but we expect it will make road crossing safer as there will be less people entering on Newsome Avenue."
There have been a series of accidents involving children and cars outside the school.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
