We have had a number of people concerned about the parking outside school at the end of the day. We appreciate that parking is a challenge. Please see this message from Juliet Hurrell, expressing her concerns:
To fellow parents who also drive their children to school,
I am making a direct appeal to you for the safety of all children who attend Longnor School before we have a serious incident involving our children. Please can you think about your parking and observe the highway code. (Rule 243 – DO NOT stop or park near a school entrance.)
No one should be parking directly opposite the school entrance or pulling up across the pavement. Also using the bus space, even once the buses have left, makes it very difficult for people to cross the road safely. We have the option to use the village hall car park and walk to school. It is a short distance but makes a big difference. If the car park is particularly busy it wouldn’t matter if a couple of cars were blocked in, we are all doing the same thing at the same time, so no great inconvenience.
Regards, Juliet Hurrell
