, I'd be loathe to send my child to school on his bike.... unless he stayed on the pavement. I've had enough near misses myself cycling.


Yea and I've had enough near misses whilst WALKIN on the pavement...They used to be remonstrated with for that.

  The sixth formers will still insist on driving to school though and they are not allowed to park on site any more.


Remind me...who is in charge now?
Obese comes to mind as well...no bloody wonder.

Quoted from brian
Perhaps some consideration should be given to the parking problem in Fifth road by school staff to determine if it is just lazy students who can't be bothered to walk to school or because they live too far out and are not served by public transport. If it is the latter then the school needs to accomodate their vehicles. Failing that, one side of the road needs double yellow lines.


So how did they get to school before they were old enough to drive?

Still, the standard WBC response to parking issues is to charge for it - perhaps like the Goldwell Park parking, pay by mobile.

Judging by the number of parental vehicles going in and out and dropping off in Buckingham Road at opening and closing times, that was the preferred method prior to driving test. To be honest, I don't know how they or parents can afford the cars what with tax, fuel and insurance costs. "Buy a years insurance and get a car free" could be a selling point for insurers.

CORRECTION. According to my daughter, students aren't allowed to use the car park.
