A PENSIONER is calling for extra street lighting near two schools after he was almost knocked off his scooter.
Geoff Rodgerson, 82, of Manor Grove, Royston said he had a near miss with a woman who was picking kids up from Royston St John the Baptist Primary School, where there are only two street lights.
Geoff Rodgerson said: "It's just not bright enough, there really does need to be some more lighting on those streets. It is so dangerous, it's an accident waiting to happen."
This story appears in full in the Barnsley Chronicle Royston edition, dated February 21.
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."
