Lindenow South Primary School, East Gippsland Shire Council and local police have joined forces for improved safety at the school’s children crossing.
It comes the same week the school received almost $1 million in funding to build a new toilet block and replace the playground.
Officers from East Gippsland Highway Patrol and Proactive Units teamed up with local shire representatives, including mayor, Cr Tom Crook, and the Lindenow South Primary School last Thursday, uniting in their dedication to safeguarding the lives of students who use the school crossing.
Recent observations have brought disconcerting behaviour to light, as some drivers, especially those in command of heavy vehicles, are dismissing the 40km/h speed limit surrounding the school.
The disregard for safety has prompted police to pledge their vigilance to the area, ensuring the speed limit is enforced.
