Car parking when school open

There is a long standing problem with parents car parking when dropping off children for Greetby Hill CofE school. They park on footpaths and yellow lines, on both sides of the road making it very difficult to reverse out of our drives because the road is only wide enough for two cars. When they park on footpaths it is impossible for other parents with prams to use the footpath forcing people into the road. They leave their car engines running which as we all know cause fumes. If you ask people to move so that you can get cars out of our drives you are met with abuse. I have lived at this address for 25 years and the situation is becoming worse each year.

The issue of parents parking continues. I saw on Thursday and Friday parents parking on pavements, parents parking without consideration of residents and parents stopped with car engines running. The only way to stop this happening is for traffic enforcement to ticket inconsiderate parents.

This problem continues. Residents have to leave earlier than when school opens or later. There is little consideration from people who totally ignore yellow lines. What is also annoying is that car owners sit with engines running polluting atmosphere.

This problem continues daily, my family struggle to leave our drive when parents bring their children to school, parking their cars on yellow street lines which states no parking at set times No traffic warden has been to remind parents or ask them to move When I have asked them to move so I can reverse my car out of my drive I receive verbal abuse These parents are rude and inconsiderate
