“We understand this is a very busy time of day but parking without consideration can cause an obstruction to other drivers and most importantly to the children who are crossing.

“Remember – the nearest you can park to a junction is 10 metres.

“If there are single, double or zig-zag lines you should all be keeping these areas clear at all times, even for dropping off/picking up children.”
