Rejected petition Enforce parking restrictions outside newcroft primary academy in shepshed

we have pretty much been told by the local council that unless children are getting hurt, they won't enforce parking restrictions opposite the school gates. The school has expanded in recent years meaning more cars, they park opposite the school on the kerb making it dangerous for all.

More details

We would like parking restrictions enforced, before a child gets hurt or worse. The council blame the parents for poor parking, the school say complain to the council, so do we have to wait until a child is seriously hurt before we are listened to
