Anger in Beeston over 'chaotic' parking where drivers go down on road 'like there is no tomorrow'

A community in Beeston has voiced their anger over "chaotic" traffic near a school. Neighbours living near the Alderman Pounder Infant & Nursery School said drivers go down on Eskdale Drive "like there is no tomorrow" - and double-parked cars often block the view on the narrow road.

It comes as a police officer attended the location on drop-off and pick-up times in response to a complaint. Lucy Weston, 43, from Chilwell said: "It's very bad in front of the school. Even I am struggling to see when cars are approaching, I do not know how children can see anything while crossing the road if all the cars are blocking a clear view."

Ben Harbottle, 36, who lives in Chilwell said: "The worst part is that they're all parents, any parent would avoid this road at this time but it is parents that are creating this situation."
