Earlier this week, the Derbyshire Times reported on the situation of inconsiderate parking outside Pilsey School – with officers from Clay Cross Safer Neighbourhood Team revealing how some cars had mounted the pavement in a move they branded ‘totally unacceptable’.
But it seems that dangerous and problematic parking is not just confined to Pilsey, with residents across the county highlighting other schools where this is an issue.
We’ve compiled a list of some of those mentioned below. Is it a problem at your school? Let us know your thoughts.
1. Hady Primary School, Hady
Rich Burrell said: "Hady Primary School is shocking, to the point where mums with pushchairs are forced to walk in the road because people park so far onto the kerb because they are so worried that their precious car might lose a wing mirror. The school regularly send messages out about the parking but nothing ever changes and nothing ever will until someone is hurt or killed." Photo: Google
2. Mary Swanick Primary School, Old Whittington
