A headteacher says 'the safety of pupils and staff can't be guaranteed' unless a six-foot high security fence is put up around a Nailsea primary school.

Governors have back the plans at Golden Valley, and letters have gone to parents to get their views, with a view to erecting the fence during half-term next month.

Head Kevin Lynch says ninety percent of the school boundary is open to the public, and dog litter, used condoms and evidence of drug taking have all been found on the playing fields.
