Tonight was the get together of the Friends of Little Gonerby, who had a celebration at Ask restaurant in town.
They had good cause to celebrate. Led by Sarah and Michelle the Friends have managed to raise £4000 for the school this year. As a result an outdoor classroom can be built, among other things. The Friends raised the money through an innovative range of events throughout the year. Whilst there was a focus on fund-raising, there was also a focus on inclusion and ensuring everyone had a great time too. The Christmas Fayre was a stunning success.
Whilst talking to the friends the subject came up of the crossing outside the school on Sandon Road. I have been considering taking some action regarding St Anne's School road crossing too. Both schools are on a busy road with children and parents taking chances as they cross over.
Whilst St Anne's has a lollipop man, Little Gonerby does not. I have committed to fighting for safe crossings for the schools.
On Sandon Road parents for St Marys and Sandon School would also benefit from a crossing.
There are a number of issues with Harrowby Road and Sandon School. At the Dysart Road meeting I discussed the situation with HGVs now using the roads as a rat run to cut out Grantham Town centre when linking up with the A52 to Boston. This also needs investigating.
