PARKING We have received numerous complaints from members of the public regarding the irresponsible behaviour of parents when they are dropping off/collecting their children from school. Some of the reports relate to similar incidents where parents have stopped their car in the middle of the busy main road where very young children have let themselves out of the vehicle without checking for traffic and running across the road. I am appalled that parents have so little regard for the safety of their children and hope that we have no further incidents such as these reported to us. I am well aware that we all lead very busy lives but please do not let negligence result in the serious injury of a child.
