Parking near schools
We know parking around schools can be difficult. Some parents need to park nearby, but it’s important to do so safely and responsibly.
Our road safety officers may already be working with schools to raise awareness. You can also speak to the school if parking is causing problems.
If vehicles are blocking driveways or ignoring parking restrictions like yellow lines, we may be able to take enforcement action.
Report parking near to schools
Request new restrictions
If the problem continues, you can request new parking restrictions using report it. Choose ‘other road issues’ and then ‘problem parking’ to contact your local highways team.
Requesting dropped kerb enforcement
If you are a property occupier who is finding that your vehicle access crossing (VAC) is being obstructed by parked vehicles on a regular basis, you can request enforcement online.
