Message from Brookvale Groby Learning Campus
Polite notice to Dog Walkers
HERE AT Brookvale Groby Learning Campus we love our dogs just as much as you do, but for the health and safety of our students we are making a change that will affect local dog walkers. In order to improve security and safety for students we will be installing a fence at the back of our campus soon after the May Bank Holiday, the effect of which will be to secure our site and to block the pedestrian access from Woodbank Road. It is commonly believed that there is a public right of way through our campus, but in fact that is not the case. There is a public footpath at the back of the campus, and the new security fence will not affect the footpath. As part of the increased security and health measures on campus, we ask that local dog walkers please use alternative routes. We are very regularly used as a cut through to the woods, and unfortunately the resulting dog mess is a health threat to students and staff. Some dog walkers even try to use our campus as a cut through during the school day. The safety and health of students is our first priority, and we ask the local community to support us with this change. Thank you and good wishes to every member of the local community, including our four legged friends.
