we just come back from the school and there is a traffic warden that is giving out tickets (not match ones) to anybody that is parking illegally, there is yellow lined areas and anybody that is putting there wheels on the kerb is being targeted, zero tolerance

Excellent news. It takes a special sort of idiot to park illegally and unsafely outside their own child's school.

mayhem down there, on the odd occasions do we park there, today due to the weather, needs addressing as no one can get down the street sometimes there was nowt wrong with walking home, saying that I got knocked over by a double decker bus and was lucky enough to just break a collar bone,
never been right since

It also takes a special type of idiot to have no discretion either when it comes to doing people for bu66er all.

I imagine anyone being 'done' for bugger all would have a case for not being done at all.

Ah you've been knicked a few times haven't you go on admit it.

walk to school imo

i know one of the old bill who takes part in these school parking clamp downs

no names but yesterday wrenthorpe , tomorrow hendal then maybe emmerdale

sadly this normally happens after a near miss

Right Ok we'll let everyone park outside schools then what would happen is they would park in the playground and eventually park their cars in the classroom to make sure they get their kids to school.

If you think lines outside of schools are there for a laugh carry on I for one support this when a kiddie gets run over then its a reality check if incosiderate people have to pay £30 for laziness so be it people would soon moan if if the warden walked past ingnoring it. The school will have had a warning for the parents in any event no sympathy sorry.

more walking buses needed and more free transport (yellow buses ) for kids from afar.

Lived next to a school for 20 odd years and i can tell you now when some inconsiderate @@@t as blocked you in your own drive to pick up little Timmy and your needed to dash into work its no laughing matter.

especially when Timmy only lives 2 streets away

Sadly most people only live about 800 yards away but are far too lazy to walk. I drop my kids off at Jerry Clay in Wrenthorpe and then walk to work on the 41 estsate. I have a car but choose to walk as I dont want to die at 50 through a heart attack because of lack of excercise.

If you are parked on any pavement you run the risk of getting a ticket anyway.

Jerry Clay is worse than Wrenthorpe Juniors for idiots in cars.

Lazy Bas**rds.

Rant Over

Having same problem at sons school.

Now he is 5 so he aint walking on his own and my parents cant walk that far.

The fundamental problem is jobsworths and pi**ed of locals who just want to cause trouble for the sake of it.

Nobody is parking on the yellow zig zags but do put wheels on the pavement (yes illegal) but what this allows is a car to get between the 2 parked cars. If it didnt happen it would be chaos. I got talked to for parking on a bend. Well it was a curve with good visibility causing no danger.

Also been told no parking which obscurs the view of residents trying to get out od their drive.

SUMMARY

You cant park anywhere near your childs school

Crazy

did I say any of that ? NO I used a word called discrestion, and it has nothing to do with schools FFS. I responded to a comment about traffic wardens pal, nothing more, so do not take my comment, and twist it to something that suits.

actually it dual sided

on days like today i have no problem with it but frankly its every day i dont live near that school but have one at the bottom of my street, when its blazing hot theres 50 odd cars all with one child in then every morning and same when its wet

i agree you should be able to pick your kids up but.....

1. not 1 per huge 4b4 which could easily get 5 in and reduce problem by 400 percent, do you actually talk to other parents about car pools

2. oh its so bad for children to walk half a mile in the summer sun, its not, read up on britains childhood obesity and learn. maybe say one parent and 5 children walk using their legs??

3. and then the jobsworths and locals will shut up when its banging it down..hopefully, im only speaking for myself.

The fundamental problem is inconsiderate parents who think it is their god given right to park as close to the school as possible regardless of the law or of the safety of other parents/children/staff/mambers of the public.



SUMMARY

Like it or lump it you still have to obey the laws of the road even if it means walking an extra 100 yards or so.
