Parking / Traffic outside school

Just before the Christmas break I received a letter from the Parish council stating their concerns about
the traffic and the parking issues outside school. To summarise, their concerns are as follows:

Blocked access for emergency vehicles

Potential for a serious accident

Impact of congestion on local residents

Whilst I understand that parking is not always easy outside school at busy times, and the vast majority of
parents do park considerately, I can only once again request that all parents prioritise the safety of all the
community when visiting school, and ensure that any parking is done legally and not blocking any access at
all. Thank you for your support in keeping everyone safe.
