Students,teachers and Parent/Governors from London Citizens Member Hendon School (Barnet) got out on the streets today to begin their campaign to improve road safety around the school...
The school, situated off Golders Rise in Hendon, faces considerable traffic difficulties on a daily basis, and after selecting road safety as one of three top priorities to take action on, a team of year 8 students are leading the way in improving the situation, and ultimately getting the borough council to help. The team have identified parents, local residents, teachers, pupils and other users of Golders Rise as the key people to connect with, bring together and forge into an alliance for change.
Today it was time to begin connecting with local residents. Students established their aims, devised a survey to achieve those aims, created a petition to harness support, and role-played conversations and tactics. Then it was time to take the whole team onto the streets, connecting with residents along the road and listening to their views on the issue.
The team - conquoring both their nerves and the freezing temperatures - were amazing, persuading residents to give up time and support for the cause. Change at and around Hendon has definitely begun!
