Church leaders claim their volunteers have been "abused" for trying to stop people parking in their car park during the school run.
St Augustine’s Church in Whitchurch say the issue of parents picking up their children from Bridge Farm Primary School is getting so bad that disabled people have had to miss attending church because they can’t park in the church’s own car park. School leaders have repeated appeals to parents to stop parking there both in the morning and for afternoon pick-up.
The church and Bridge Farm Primary are on opposite sides of East Dundry Road in Whitchurch, and the issue has bubbled away in South Bristol for a number of years, but came to a head with a post on St Augustine’s Church’s Facebook page. Sharing a picture of its car park filled with cars, the church said the problem was affecting every part of its daily activities.
