Residents invited to have their say on problem parking outside of Nuneaton schools

Warwickshire County Council, Police and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire are undertaking a review of parking outside schools.

Inconsiderate, unsafe and illegal parking around schools is an ongoing concern for Headteachers, parents/carers and residents and puts the safety of children, and others, at risk.

The problem again reared his head when schools were finally reopened in March.

Partners and organisations are working together to review parking issues outside schools to greater understand and address the problems schools, parents, and the wider community experience.

Feedback will help focus efforts, and shape future initiatives to address unsafe and inconsiderate school parking, helping to make the roads outside and around Warwickshire schools safer.

Cllr Wallace Redford, Warwickshire County Council’s portfolio holder for Transport and Planning, said: “We recognise that there can be a variety of different problems with parking at our schools across Warwickshire. We are very keen to hear from Headteachers, parents, carers and residents about the problems that they are experiencing in their areas to help us better prioritise our resources to make things better.”
