Wyburns - Access to Nevern Road

Access to the School and Nevern Road

Coach access, for trips that depart around 9.00am or return at around 3.15pm, is very difficult. Congestion in Nevern Road with parents waiting to pick children up means that coaches have to park at least 250m away and the children walk to/from the school. Coach drivers regularly complain to the school that they cannot gain access to the school in order to pick up/drop off children. Delivery drivers regularly complain to the school that they cannot gain access to the school to effect their deliveries because of inconsiderate parking, both by parents and by residents of Nevern Road. These complaints (like those of the coach drivers) are made in person and no letters exist to support these statements.
	Residents of Nevern Road regularly telephone the school to complain about inconsiderate parking by parents. Some parents have been known to park across or even in residents’ driveways. Residents are always encouraged to report these incidents to the police. The school regularly puts items onto school newsletters requesting parents to be mindful of their inconsiderate parking and the annoyance it causes to our neighbours.
In our recent parent questionnaire, inconsiderate parking outside the school gates and in Nevern Road was the single biggest complaint that was noted. The problem can only be solved with help from the local authority. As a school, we have no jurisdiction over parking problems in the local community.
