Frustration as parents on school run prevent patients from using GP parking bays

School rush hour parking has become a nightmare for one Bristol GP practice which says it's 'very disappointed that despite numerous and ongoing requests', some parents continue to park onsite when collecting their children.

Stoke Gifford Medical Centre, on Ratcliffe Drive, is just a stone's throw away from St Michael's CofE Primary School - and with double yellow lines clearly displayed on nearby residential streets, vehicles car parking bays at the practice have become a go-to drop-off and pick-up point for parents.

A patient who has asked to remain anonymous said when she arrived at the practice for her 3.30 pm appointment on Tuesday (January 10), she was unable to park despite arriving 20 minutes early. She told Bristol Live she had to park temporarily in an ambulance space until a spot became available.
