Schools are re-opening soon! As such we would like to remind you to be mindful of how you park when the time comes. Police can remove your unattended vehicle if you cause an obstruction, and civil enforcement officers can issue you with a penalty charge notice for stopping in a restricted area. This means blocking a driveway or path even for a short amount of time. ⛔ DO NOT: Stop or park near a school entrance and keep off school keep clear markings. Double Park to pick up or drop off children from vehicles. Park in such a position that buses, emergency services and other commercial vehicles are unable to pass. Block the pavement – allow at least a ‘double buggy’ width for people to use it safely. Park where a bus stop is clearly defined either by road markings or an actual shelter. ✅ DO: Observe in force parking restrictions that may apply. Consider parking further away from the school. Be considerate of local residents and whether they have immediate access onto and off their driveway. Remember that busses are there to provide a public service and inconsiderate parking can give rise to unnecessary delays.
