“Wendycot”,Chelmsford Road, SCHOOL CAR PARKING
Hatfield Heath,
OFFER OF POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Bishop’S Stortford, Herts Dear Bruno,
Having seen all the letters regarding parking on the school
Opening Hours run it made me think of the school next door to the nursery
Mon - Fri 8am - 5.30pm I work in.

Sat 9am - 1pm STAGGERED REGISTRATIONS
The way they deal with their parking issues is by staggering
Tel: 01279 730 274 the times that the children's registrations are due to start and
therefore parents drop their children off in waves and this
[email protected] cuts down on the volume of cars during drop off time.

ROAD AWARENESS WEEK
For All Building Works - We have many problems within our nursery car park and the
Extensions/Renovations - school did a road awareness week where they staged an
Decorating - Plumbing - Electrics accident on the road to make people realise how it would
Carried Out with Great Attention to Detail cause a problem and how serious it could be. We had to give
Tel: 01279 757 323 07836 205 103 all our parents and staff a permit sticker to put in their cars
so the school could act as traffic wardens with the children
James Gardening Service to ensure that school parents did not use our car park and
make it dangerous for our nursery parents to get their
All Garden Works children to us. The children made road safety awareness
posters to display around the area and also had help from the
& Odd Jobs community police officer to stop school parents from
parking on the mini roundabout by the school and just
01279 651 498 07963 989 851 making their children get out into the road to go in to school.

PARENTS SHOULD THINK
BEFORE BEING ABUSIVE
It worked really well. I understand that parking is difficult
but I do think that parents should think before being abusive
towards other people who ask them to move on, especially
as if there was an accident they may find themselves relying
on a non-parent to administer first aid to their child in an
attempt to save their lives. What is more important, the life
of their child or taking a few extra minutes to ensure their
safe arrival at school. Also maybe they all need to think
about the example they set for their children as the teachers
work hard to provide children with an education about
communities and what they can achieve together. It's states
in the EYFS that we should accept communities and be
proud to be part of one that prides itself on diversity and
values everyone. You can't value someone when you are
shouting or swearing at them and like wise when you ignore
them, everyone's views should count and one member of the
community should not be more important than the safety and
well-being of everyone else.
MAYBE A SMALL SCHOOL BUS

OR SHARE CARS
Maybe a small school bus would be helpful if many children
come from the local surrounding areas and cannot walk to
the school. Or the school could encourage parents to share
cars and yes I'm very aware of the law about police checks
but if you cannot trust a friend to take your children to
school what has become of the world around us. Everyone
needs to show community spirit and remember that a small
amount of politeness can get you a long way, as my Nan
always said what goes around comes around! If you want
your children to respect you and the community you have to
respect them yourselves.
Yours sincerely
Miss C Steggles

If a development of say 60 homes (2/3/4 Bedrooms to
encourage families) were allowed to be built on Taylers
Field many of these households would have children

school from this new development would mean one less

The School and Playschool should not be allowed to

problem from reoccurring in the future, and maintaining
the present level of playing fields.

William Mark Fisher R A
Mark Fisher was born in Boston USA in 1841. He
came from a very poor family but at the age of 14
he was apprenticed to his cousin as a sign writer.
With his obvious artistic gifts he began to study art
at the Lowell Institute and then found work as a
portrait painter.
He met the landscape artist George Inness who
proposed he went to Paris to study impressionist
painting. On finishing his studies he returned to
Boston but his style met with little success in
America and he returned to Europe.

Little Brewers 1918

In 1901 he moved to Little Brewers at Hatfield
Heath and was there until his death in 1923. He
was elected to the Royal Academy in 1919 and
exhibited there for many years. Among his local
works were The Orchard, The Crossroads and
Harlow Mill(1912). His daughter, Margaret, also

exhibited at the R A. LOCALS NIGHTouth-WFaoteordEingvery ly

Domestic Heating Installations After spending many years of operational Policing and
instead of promotion I decided that my interests were

To have a Police response to your alarm system far more than the cost of having a professionally fitted
Companies need to be ‘recognised companies’ who are alarm system
members of a Security Industry inspectorate, the If you are considering having an alarm installed or this
inspectorate then demands all the employees are security article has made you decide to get your own system
screened and that the company installs to a high industry maintained you can normally get a compliant company
standard in to service most systems
With regard to the actual type of Alarm Systems there are

many types on the market they are all basically known as Gordon John Sinclair

either ‘Hard Wired’ or ‘Wire Free’. Company Director Security Systems Group Ltd
