Concerns about safety for school students in the Christchurch suburb of Papanui - as another school moves into the already busy and often-congested area

Catholic girls' school Marian College is re-locating to a site diagonally across from St Bede's College, and next to a major supermarket development.

Locals are concerned about the impact the added traffic will have.

Community Board Deputy Chair Simon Britten says there's a combination of factors contributing to concern, including an increase in traffic heading west to the Airport, and up the Northern Corridor.
