‘Selfish and inconsiderate’ motorists who park on double yellow lines and across driveways near a Salford primary school have forced council bosses to step up parking restrictions nearby. And with the problem widespread across the city, four mobile cameras are set to be deployed around local schools to enforce no waiting regulations which are flouted on a daily basis.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service visited the roads outside Cadishead Primary School at around 3pm this week and saw drivers picking up children parked on existing double yellow lines at the junction of Allotment Road, Moss Side Road and Prospect Road. Residents in the area say they are ‘fed up’ with people picking their children up from school, flouting existing ‘no waiting’ restrictions and obstructing driveways.
Sue Sinnott, 69, said: “It’s ridiculous. There are people coming here and parking from 2.15pm onwards just so they can get a convenient space near the school. Some of them live within easy walking distance of here. It's madness.
