Dear Parents,

We would like to inform you that the President of the Parent’s Association and the Director of the European school have had several meetings with the Municipality of Bergen on a topic that concerns us all, especially the movement of traffic around and in the vicinity of our school. In June 2009 we addressed our concerns, in a PowerPoint presentation which contained photographs supporting our concerns and those of other organisations close to the school.

We understand that the Municipality of Bergen is willing to make changes to the infrastructure in both “Nessen” and “Churchillaan” There are more meetings planned in 2010. In preparation for this the school community can greatly assist us here by to acting responsibly when leaving their cars in the vicinity of the school and by using the allocated parking areas already set aside and available for parking now. We are aware that there is not enough parking at present and that more is required. This is the objective of our next meeting.

In the meantime we are asking the school community to show their responsibility and contribute towards improving the immediate traffic situation. The bus stop by the roundabout for example is intended for buses only as it is the only safe place where the student can get in or off the bus. This is currently not the case. Please try to avoid parking at the roundabout.

Our objective is to ensure that your children arrive at school in a safe manner and arrive home safely as well. We count on your support to help us make this happen.

Kind regards,

Jonas Jatautas                              Andrea Stadthalter

Director                                           President Parents’ Association
