Parking concerns


This morning I spent time outside Whitchurch Church of England Primary School. I was there in relation to parking concerns where vehicles have been parking on the zig zag lines for drop off and collection.

 

Inconsiderate or illegal parking can put pedestrians and other road users in danger. It can also create an obstruction for emergency vehicles.

While some enforcement activity is carried out jointly with partners, (relevant local authority) employ parking enforcement officers to assist with these issues. But often problems can be resolved through raising awareness of the impact or consequences or other practical measures.

We have been:

  • Talking to motorists and advising them of the law
  • Liaising with council parking enforcement officers over local concerns
  • Issuing Penalty Charge Notices (parking fines) to persistent offenders
  • Working with partners to find alternative off-road parking opportunities, particularly near to schools.
  • You can find more information and guidance on parking concerns here: Parking issues and abandoned vehicles | West Mercia Police

    Many thanks for your help and support. It was lovely to speak to both parents and children this morning. You all gave me a nice and positive welcome. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can effectively both prevent and detect crime and keep our communities safe.
