A parent council has called for community policing patrols at an Edinburgh primary school after staff reported "regularly feeling threatened and unsafe at work".
This month, members threatened to pull their children out of school to protest the lack of action taken over growing safety concerns. However, the 'strike day' was cancelled after the council announced new measures to tackle the anti-social behaviour, Edinburgh Live reports. She said: "In the last few months we at Unison have been dealing with members who have been adversely affected by the situation. Our members regularly feel threatened and unsafe at work as parents in the playground and the school building display aggressive behaviour towards other parents and staff."
