The BAD PARKING thread [vol4]
Discussion
around here the I was a Governor of an infant school for about twelve years, and it was rare that we had a full Governors' meeting without the issue of parking on the agenda.
One memorable instance involved a parent driving her offspring to school, parking near the entrance, leaving the car, walking home, returning on foot in the afternoon at chucking-out time, and driving the children home.

Really hope someone sets up a camera to capture the owner of this when they come to pick it up (story put up on BBC an hour ago).

That happened to my sister once in Edinburgh, and isn't necessarily bad parking. In her case, she had been away on holiday and the warning signs only went up after she left. They didn't surface the road around her car though, instead used a parking enforcement truck to pick it up and move it round the corner.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-6140716...
Presumably Darlo council didn't have/couldn't afford one of those, or perhaps the hill was too steep to use one.

ks by publishing make, model and registration numbers of offending vehicles. Only problem is the Chavs that drive these cars don't care because they have "'uman rights" and no legs. When they do get the Council/PCSO or Police in, they only "advise" the drivers, who go back to doing it when the heat dies down. It's all talk and no action.And for contentious reference: most of the offending vehicles are premium and probably leased/PCP'ed

As long as responsibly parked, this actually quite sensible. If you live say 1.5mi away, that is perfectly walkable for an adult but a bit of a slog with a tired 5 year old at the end of the day. By walking home, she is saving an unnecessary journey.Of course, if she is hogging a space in a busy area and said children are 15 and they live 0.5mi away....

Email it to the head of the school. Our Primary takes a very dim view and will happily pull parents aside for a word.[/url]

That won’t be very exciting then, he’ll just get in his car drive off. It’s not like there’s anything to stop him?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-6140716...

As an illustration:
We live 800m from the local primary school where Mrs V. teaches. 90% Mrs V. walks in unless she has a lot of stuff to carry or the weather is bad. Our previous next door neighbour would drive to collect her kids from the school and park about 800m on the other side of the school because of lack of parking spaces...
