Parents at one of Edinburgh's largest primary schools are calling for a larger outdoor space - as children are now banned from playing a traditional running game due to 'increased risk of collision'.
Parents at Sciennes Primary, which is responsible for 665 pupils in 22 classes, are working with local councillors after much of the outdoor space was used for additional classrooms.
Of the ideas considered by the parent council and four councillors representing the Southside/Newington ward, is to take over the road outside the school and expand the existing playground. Such ideas have initially been knocked back due to a reported lack of funds and potential legal backfire, reports the Edinburgh Evening News.
