Dear parents,
I am sorry that I have to bring
this up again but I am frequently getting complaints about how some parents’
park and drive down Shortcrofts road. While I know this does not apply to the
vast majority of parents, there are still a few parents who continue to park inconsiderately
on this road.
We are getting numerous complaints
about parents parking illegally. Please note that you CANNOT park on a dropped
kerb, or STOP on the zig zag lines to drop off children. Parking illegally on
roads near our school and driving quickly down this road puts children’s safety
at risk.
The Local Authority are taking
complaints about road safety around schools seriously and receiving more complaints
could mean that parking on Shortcrofts Road could be even more restricted for
parents. They are also sending wardens,
which could mean if you are parked illegally you could receive a parking
ticket.
So in
the interests of children’s safety please park properly and considerately.
Could I also remind you that if
you are dropping your child off, you must do this safely, which includes not
blocking the road for other road users. If you need to ensure your child has
gone in safely you should park correctly and walk your child in.
Thank you to the vast
majority of you who do park considerately, as this means children can come to
school safely.
I hope that I will not have
to write again regarding this.
Yours sincerely
Mrs. A.
