I had a barney with a stupid coach driver who was parked on the zig zags outside St Marys at 9am one morning. His excuse was that there was nowhere else to park. I suggested he switched his brain on and did not arrive till 10 past nine when all the cars had gone.

Hippings is the same on wednesday mornings I think it is with a coach waiting before 9am - utter madness. The head teachers have a duty of care to the children and should police the parking themselves - or at least phone the police every morning it occurs.

No warnings just fine the drivers each and every time. 50 names in the observer would soon stop it happening and would be easy in just one week in Hyndburn. It would only take a couple of police 15 mins each morning at different schools to get that many.

Maybe I am being simplistic again or is it the Police can't even come up with a simple solution like that. Then again I have seen them trying. Parked outside school in a marked car, stood outside in full hi-vis gear and no-one parked. Maybe it will have to be a job for CID or perhaps MI5
