Parents proclaimed drop off -pick up area

Reported via desktop in the Car parking category anonymously at 20:15, Wed 4 September 2024

Sent to Leeds City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6437352.

Since Garforth Academy put yellow lines around the roundabout in front of the main gate, parents were forced to find alternative safe places to drop of pick up their kids. Whereas I do understand the need to have such space I wish that this would be school or council led and not thrust upon parents to figure out because it is causing chaos and plenty of near misses. Our street is tucked away dead end and once several cars are parked in its mouth visibility and amount of space to safely manoeuvre is severely reduced. Not too mention cars are rarely switched off, as some drivers believe that it 'signifies' not being parked, contributing to air and noise pollution in order to secure quick departure spots, normally those closer to the junction, some guardians show up as early as 15 minutes prior to first/last bell.
