Parking Outside The School Gates
Fri 01 Jul 2022Parking Outside The School Gates
Unfortunately on a daily basis, some parents are parking on the white lines directly outside the school gates.
This is severely impeding the vision for anyone leaving the school car park as you have to drive into the middle of the road to see past these vehicles.
For your information, the legal distance from which you are able to park from a junction is 10m/32ft. This is to allow drivers merging from or turning into the junction/road a clear view of the road they are joining. It is illegal to park any closer.
Thank you for your co-operation in parking safely.
