Residents from Westbrook Crescent told Clr David Earl that parents were obstructing their drives, churning up grass and making it difficult for road users when they were dropping children off for the school bus.

The management of nearby Seven Woods pub agreed that the pick up point could be at the pub, which has a good sized car park from now on.

After receiving his permission, Clr Earl contacted the head teacher of the Rainhill school who is to write to parents informing them of the change.
