An urgent danger to life warning has been issued as floodwaters submerge the city of Lismore on the northern NSW coast on Monday and more rain expected for Tuesday..
A CONCERNED grandmother believes it is only a matter of time before a child will be seriously injured while jaywalking near Brassall State School.
Michelle Parratt of North Ipswich said she witnessed countless adults escort schoolchildren through peak-hour traffic across Pine Mountain Rd – metres from a designated crossing.
Fencing was installed at the road in recent years to help alleviate the issue after parents called for improvements to the road.
Ms Parratt’s frustrations even prompted a post to social media last week, pleading with residents to think twice about jaywalking.
She said it ”made her sick” to see parents and caregivers not use designated crossings and encourage poor road safety behaviours in younger generations.
