Unnecessary congestion

I used to work at Lound Hall training centre, which belonged to British Coal and the trainees were bussed in from all over North Notts there must have been about 7 coaches, just shows it can be done. If they used busses the parents could run them to a central point where there is plenty of parking space and it wouldn't cause grid lock.

We have 9 schools within  3 miles,of where we live so i do not think a central point for pick up would work here there would have to be a huge fleet of buses

MD , you have been told,

 the police cannot prosecute them for obstruction unless they actually catch them parking their car,

The police have to prove who drove/parked the car to the position it is parked, they can do this with judicious questioning of who returns to the car to drive it off which is usually done soon after.

I have been aware of one parent who used to arrive and park outside the primary school 15 minutes late every day.

This was to ensure she could park to drop her son off at the primary school !

..If the vehicle is causing an obstruction ,regular near here ,the police ticket the vehicle,as do our parking services staff

Thanks for the info KPH 

Even worse are those parents who park 1/2 on the pavement so that other parents with prams cannot get past. Local 'safety car' hasn't given rise to the prosecution of a single offender yet.

Safety car is one that has a camera mounted on the roof to detect errant motorists and fine them!

Not sure about school buses. Driver of one near York ignored road closed signs and bus ended up in 5 ft of water! Made national news. What a plonker! Pupils dialled 999, he phoned his bus company.

Vacancy for a bus driver in York area imminent! Joking aside, at least no one was hurt!

Here's the link to the York School bus incident - driver now suspended!
