School Lane, Great Hucklow
We are very concerned that a very small group of motorbikers seem to be coinciding their use of this lane with primary school opening. Parents have a voluntary code of conduct that they will not use vehicles on this lane throughout the day due to safety issues, and we would ask all responsible users to do the same if possible. Please therefore consider avoiding the use of this lane during weekdays.
Anyone caught driving dangerously will be dealt with by the police. The lane is now being monitored and these irresponsible individuals will be caught if they continue.
