Rather than increase school run traffic, as Sue Young fears (The Argus, November 15), I suspect that using the distance of students' homes from The Level, Brighton, as a factor in deciding whether they can get into Dorothy Stringer School may actually reduce it.
There is already a school bus which picks children up from the Queen's Park/Hanover area and takes them to the Stringer/Varndean campus.
Where the school run traffic may decline is with parents ferrying their children to primary/junior schools in our neck of the woods after having moved to the Fiveways area in order to gain a place at one of the secondary schools there.
Take away the necessity to move house and the school run could well decline. The Level-to-home distance admissions policy for Dorothy Stringer would be a greener and fairer one than the status quo.
