Parents who park both sides of a main road when picking their children up after school which cause more than a dangerous hazard to the students crossing the road because the other traffic can't get by.Congestion builds up and people get impatient and thus far we have had one child so severely injured that she cannot come back to school ever.

Now I'm talking about secondary school here where the kids are more than capable of walking/catching a bus to school/home.Add to this traffic lights about 200 metres up the road and it is a recipe for a child to actually be killed one of these days.Some drivers are so upset by it that they actually come into school to complain.However the head cannot do anything but 'ASK' the parents to park further away and ensure that staff are on duty.Do they listen?Do they heck.

Incog.
