• Parking complaints from Local Residents

  Fri 17 Sep 2021

  On more than one occasion this week, we have been contacted by frustrated local residents as driveways have been blocked on West Avenue and Darby's Hill Road.

   

  Please do your best to park considerately and ensure residents can access their property and the local roads at all times.

   

  Please be aware that local residents now have access to an online reporting tool; the 'Allegations of Driving Standards Self-Reporting Scheme' so please ensure you are parking appropriately to avoid being contacted and prosecuted.

   

  We appreciate that the surrounding roads can be very busy at drop-off and collection times around the school site. However, we rely on everyone's co-operation to avoid these issues to help keep all of the children safe around the school site.

   

  Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
