Richmond West Primary School lockdowns linked to safe injecting room prompts crisis meeting of parents
Concerned parents have held a crisis meeting after a series of troubling incidents at Richmond West Primary School believed to be linked to the nearby safe injecting room.
Key points:
- The school had to be locked down three times in one week over different incidents
- One time a dead man’s body was found outside the school
- Acting Premier James Merlino says data shows the facility has saved lives
Some residents in the area have long been opposed to the facility’s proximity to the school, but parents say the situation has gone from bad to worse, with the school being forced to lock down three times in one week.
About 70 people attended a meeting on Wednesday night, which was organised by parents of children at the school.
