Due to complaints of people queueing for the Community Shop from 10.30am, leaving bags unattended, using language not appropriate outside of the school / centre and va**ng / smoking on the grounds we ask that no one queues before 12.30pm. Doors open at 1pm

We also like to remind our users that queue skipping will not be tolerated and you risk being put at the back of the queue

We thank you with your assistance in the matter.
