School parking campaign
The Broxbourne Community Safety Partnership is working to reduce
illegal and dangerous parking around schools in the
Borough. The Partnership is running a campaign aimed at
changing parents attitudes and habits by encouraging more walking
and cycling to school, increasing parking enforcement outside
schools and informing parents about schemes such as park
and stride and walking buses.
Police and council officers will be
stepping up patrols and schools will
be passing the registration
numbers of persistent offenders to the Council for
further action.
Is driving your child to school safer?
Parents parking illegally outside
schools can cause problems for school children, other drivers and
local residents.
-
Parking on yellow lines and zig
zags...
reduces visibility and increases the risks for people crossing
roads.
means people have to walk in the road which puts them at
risk.
-
Parking on
driveways and in front of entrances...
causes annoyance and inconvenience to local residents.
-
Stopping suddenly in the road to let
children 'jump' out...
can cause problems for drivers and lead to accidents.
