Persistent Dangerous parking outside a school

Reported via mobile in the Car parking category anonymously at 20:14, Fri 3 October 2025

Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 8249958.

I am writing to raise an urgent concern regarding persistent dangerous parking outside Newborough CofE primary school, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up times. Drivers are regularly parking on pavements, which forces pedestrians — including young children and parents with prams — to walk on the road. This not only poses a serious safety risk but also breaches parking regulations. In addition, vehicles are often parked in such a way that they obstruct visibility for those trying to cross the road safely. This is especially dangerous for children, who are less visible to oncoming traffic. The blocked sightlines make it nearly impossible to cross safely. Furthermore, the parked vehicles create congestion and prevent other drivers from moving freely down the road, leading to frustration and unsafe driving behavior as people try to navigate the narrowed space. I urge the council to investigate this issue and consider implementing solutions such as: Regular parking enforcement patrols Double yellow lines or zig-zag markings where appropriate Installation of bollards to prevent pavement parking Increased signage and education on safe and legal parking This is a serious safety issue that needs immediate attention before an accident occurs. Thank you for taking this concern seriously.
