Nile Street Crossing

Parents can you please help us by ensuring children usethe pedestrian crossing in Nile Street rather than thecrossing at the intersection of Nile and Alton Streets. Thepedestrian crossing is a much safer crossing place forchildren. As an adult it might seem inconvenient to walk50 metres or so but for children it is much safer to do thatso please teach your children to do what is safe.
