Residents raised concerns about inconsiderate and obstructive parking around Little Sutton Primary School on Berwick Road, including vehicles parking close to junctions, on double yellow lines and in locations that restricted visibility and access for other road users, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up times.
Action taken:
Officers carried out targeted patrols in response to these concerns, engaging with drivers and providing advice where inappropriate parking was identified. During these patrols, several advisory notices were issued to vehicles parked in locations that could affect visibility, obstruct access or create difficulties for other road users.
We have also continued to engage with Blue Badge holders to raise awareness that, whilst a disabled parking permit may allow parking on double yellow lines in certain circumstances, drivers must still ensure they are parked safely and consider the impact on other road users. Parking should not cause an obstruction, reduce visibility at junctions or crossings, or create difficulties for vehicles accessing or travelling through the area.
The area will continue to be monitored by local officers, and Cheshire West and Chester Council Parking Enforcement Officers have been asked to support ongoing efforts to address parking concerns and improve compliance.
