Parents share concerns over 'gauntlet' school run
Parents taking their children to school say cars are mounting the kerb on Walkley Road due to parked cars on the narrow routeParents walking their children to school in a Sheffield suburb report cars mounting kerbs and aggressive behaviour on a daily basisSheffield City Council says local councillors are trying to find solutionsTaking children to school in a Sheffield suburb is like "running the gauntlet" due to cars driving on pavements, parents have said.
Sam Wakeling, who has two children at the primary school, told BBC Radio Sheffield: "Very often you get drivers ending up head to head and having to reverse back out to get past each other."People will just hoot their horns and demand you walk out of the way, it's a very chaotic environment." She added: "We've been shouted at as a family, it makes me feel quite emotional about how difficult it is for my children to experience that every day."Walkley Primary School says it would like to see "all our families travel to and from school safely"
Mr Wakeling added: "It feels like it's running the gauntlet most days, it's a hectic, stressful part of the day."
