Welcome to the new term

Dear Parents

A letter that has been sent out to Shirwell residents, informing of a road closure that will be happening in Shirwell between Monday 11th and Friday 29th of September.  We are expecting it to cause disruption to parents coming from Barnstaple.  The closure is due to start at 9:00 am so should not affect drop off, but it will continue until 5:00pm so will greatly affect pick-up.  There will be traffic lights outside of these times.

The proposed division goes out towards Exmoor via Blackmoor Gate and is, I feel, not practical on a daily basis, there are however ways around the closure from Muddiford or Loxhore.  However these are single lane tracks and I expect them to be busier than usual.

I have spoken to National Grid and they have said that it should be fine to leave your car at the closed road and walk down to the school to collect your child, there will be pedestrian access through the works.  They have also said they will inform me if there is any change to the dates of the closure with the hope that the work may be completed ahead of time.

Please contact the office if you would like any more information.
