SIR – After reading in the Advertiser this week that £1.6 million is going to be spent on Palmerston Square it gave me no choice but to write in about the dangerous parking situation at Ampfield Primary School in Knapp Lane. Test Valley have said it's not really important. We must agree to differ. The safety work is paramount to stop what is inevitable, a child being hit by a car. Come on Test Valley Borough Council, get your priorities straight and stop wasting council tax payers money on this horrible pedestrian scheme nobody wants.
