What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to take all appropriate action, whether through amending guidance, contracts, agreements or legislation, to require local authorities to install proper safety signage and lights on school buses, to be used only when school children are on the bus when necessary, and make overtaking a stationary school bus a criminal offence.
What the petitioner did first
Spoken with our MSP & Minister of Transport Stewart Stevenson on this matter on numerous occasions, Alex Salmond, First Minister is also aware of this ongoing problem though emails to him. I have attended a meeting with Aberdeenshire Council on this matter with Stewart Stevenson & the parents of the two children recently killed.
Raised a petition in 2006 (PE892) on a similar subject, that was forwarded to Dept of Transport at Westminster. This petition has now been amended, so we can stop children being killed & seriously injured with this new petition
No further action has been taken by anyone, yet we have had at least three children killed leaving school transport since then. No accurate figures exist on accidents happening on School Transport
I am also in regular touch & speak for the Oldham & Milne families who both lost children in September 2008, also with details of other families who have lost or had children injured under the same circumstances. We are also in in the attempt to get other parents to contact us & get our point of view across.
