Pavement parking around Ashurst Primary School in 2023 (Image: Contributed)
SCHOOL is back and so is all the unthoughtful and hazardous parking nearby.
Why do some parents feel the need to do school drop-offs so close to the school itself, often over pavements?
It is just inconsiderate, making it difficult for parents to walk by, especially those with prams.
It’s dangerous for kids too, with cars pulling on and off the kerbs as they are walking around.
Occasionally, it improves when we see the odd police crackdown but after a few weeks it’s just back to the bad old ways.
Surely we can all be a bit more thoughtful.
