RECENTLY, in Blackburn, there has been a crackdown on people illegally parking outside schools. I have noticed traffic wardens and police officers out in full force near some schools, but I have not seen any at all outside Beardwood School and Westholme Schools, where the problem of illegal parking is quite unacceptable.
There are people parked on double yellow lines and on the Keep Clear markings. This causes horrendous traffic problems.
Please, could we have some traffic wardens in these areas on occasion?
Why can't these people not park away from the school gates and walk to meet their children? Are they too lazy, or just ignorant?
They obviously have no consideration for the safety of any child, not even their own.
So please, parents, think before you park and have some consideration for pedestrians as well as other motorists.
