Pied Piper thanks Lithgow Council for installing wheel stops in the car park

Pied Piper director Bradley Campbell said the yellow poles were all bent and sticking out of the ground, having been hit many times.

"It really tidies the place up and makes it a lot safer for the kids and parents walking to the preschool from their cars," he said.

The renovations took place during the school term, but according to Mr Campbell the construction took part in phases.

"Council did it in sections over a week and they generously tried to do it when traffic would be at a minimum throughout the day," he said.

Mr Campbell said this would have cost the preschool a fair bit of money if Council hadn't taken it upon themselves to do it for free.

"We had been talking to Council about whose responsibility it was and they said they would do it," he said.

"It would have cost a lot of money because they needed to get all the bolt heads out and remove the yellow poles and then put these wheel stops in, so it was a big job.

"We just really want to thank Council for doing this as it allows us to put funding back into the students and the school, of course we prioritise safety but to put the money into the kids is amazing and this was just such a nice donation."

According to Mr Campbell the parents have been really happy with the car park change.

"These wheel stops really make you stop, and it is safe for our families who walk to school," he said.

"We have found parents would just get distracted with kids chatting and would just hit the yellow poles, it was really easy to do, but with these new wheel stops it makes it a lot safer."

As it is also the first thing people see when they come up to the preschool, the new look is also more appealing, Mr Campbell said.

"It is really a first impression and yellow poles sticking out at all angles wasn't really that appealing so this is much nicer and tidier," he said.
