We need to stop the terrible parking we see at Oldfield Brow School at drop off and pick up times.
Double yellow parking is causing a safety risk to our children and ourselves.
Why is this important?
When parents park in these places it leaves those crossing the roads unable to see and be seen as they create blind spots for both drivers and pedestrians. Even worse is when parents are forced to walk into the road at the busy junctions with their children in tow, often with push chairs because drivers have left no space on the pavement (such as the bottom of Hillcroft Rd).
These drivers also create a nuisance to neighbours, making life during the week stressful and upsetting.
These inconsiderate drivers do not care, and despite Mr Merrell (the headteacher) doing his best to control the situation the drivers of the cars just do not care, even ignoring him when he stands at the school gate to try to deter this behaviour. He receives around 6 parking complaints a day, so it is time we helped and made our voices heard.
Mr Merrell has been asking the council to make our area into a category B parking area which will mean we will have parking attendants to deter the bad parkers and make them park further away from the school.
Please help us and help yourselves and your children by signing this petition! Once we have reached 100 signatures it will be sent into Trafford Council.
So many of us are fed up and angry with the terrible parking happening on our doorsteps and outside of our children's school. Please help make a difference by signing the petition and campaigning for traffic wardens to be in force at school pick up and drop off times.
