Parking Outside School

We will be taking part in a National Walk to school Campaign on the week beginning 18th May. We are encouraging all our parents to leave their cars at home, save petrol and money, save the environment, get healthy and walk to school with their children.  Also, I have been informed that the City Council are taking the issue of
parking on our zig-zag lines and the pavement outside school very seriously. It is dangerous and I know that a minority of our parents are the ones who are ignoring our advice. I do think that a serious accident will occur soon if you keep ignoring our pleas. So, during the week beginning 18th May we have asked the council to support our campaign by sending a Parking Civil Enforcement Officer to ensure no one parks, even for a minute, where they are not supposed to.

If you are caught by the traffic enforcement officers between 18th – 22^nd May 09, they will be taking a picture of your vehicle, tracing the owner
and sending you a warning letter by post. If this does not stop you parking on our zig-zags then in future you may get a fine. Please, please,
please help us to ensure the safety of every child that comes to our school.
