Parking
Could we please remind all parents that Marsco Place is not to be used for picking up or dropping pupils off for school. Marsco Place is not a road adopted by the Highland Council and as such the residents there are responsible for its upkeep. There have been some safety concerns brought to our attention in regard to driveways being blocked as well as the parking creating blind spots where pupils are walking.
A reminder that the designated drop off zone for pupils being transported by car is the car park at the community centre. Designated bays are in place there and the council fund a crossing patroller to ensure that children get from there to school safely.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
