Road safety was on the agenda for West Dorset MP Chris Loder during his visit to Burton Bradstock Primary School.

Mr Loder paid a visit to the local primary school last week (20th) to discuss the road safety concerns on the B3157 within the village, especially amongst the primary school pupils, their families and school staff. Mr Loder also invited pupils to visit the House of Commons in Westminster.

Mr Loder said: "I was very impressed with the children's questions at Burton Bradstock Primary School. I held a summit with the Police, local residents and councillors in May regarding the road safety of the B3157 coast road, close to the school and I am determined to ensure that the council and Dorset Police take this issue more seriously and I will continue to press them for action."

Burton Bradstock Primary School Headteacher Adam Gough said: "Getting out and about in our local area is a key part of our curriculum and it is important to do all we can to make the roads around Burton Bradstock safer for our children and their families. It was good to meet Mr Loder and have his support and we look forward to inviting him back for a welly walk to see the issues for himself. The children are also excited about taking up Mr Loder's kind invitation and visiting him in Westminster."
