Parking on Anne Road

We have been informed by a neighbour of the school that cars are double parked on the road and in front of the residents’ drive ways or drives. Can we remind you to be considerate to residents who live on Anne Road. Some of the residents are disabled and need carers to visit them throughout the day. We would also like to remind you that if we needed an

emergency vehicle at school, they would have great difficulty in getting to us. Thank you.
