DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT

There's no doubt about the main talking point in Brigg at present: It's the story in yesterday's (Tuesday's) Scunthorpe Telegraph (and on our websites) in which parent Vince Marshall, of Western Avenue, complains about the difficulties of carrying out the 'school road' by car to the new Brigg Primary in Atherton Way, via busy Grammar School Road.
More than 20 website responses have been posted...so far. Maybe such 'traffic' online meant one Brigg woman was unable to put her comments up. So she's asked Brigg Blog to come to the rescue...
Vicci Skinn says: "There have been many replies to his story online and I wanted to put this information on also but was unable to do so.
"On the day in question, year seven pupils were preparing to leave for a camping trip.
"This led to a number of parents choosing to take their children into school that day by car, parking in the school car park, blocking entry and exit for the buses.
"This left the buses with nowhere to go. It was unfortunate, but a one-off.
"Thankfully there was no need for an emergency vehicle to have to go down Grammar School Road. I would appreciate it greatly if you could inform people of this news."
Vicci describes herself as "a mum who also has to do the school run but walks. It’s a lot easier than driving, even in the rain!"
