📢 Parking Concerns at School Drop-Off and Pick-Up Times – Blyton 📢

Good morning, Resident

We have received reports regarding inconsiderate parking by some parents and carers during school drop-off and pick-up times at Blyton cum Laughton Primary School, particularly on Albert Close, Blyton.

On Friday 6 November, a resident reported that vehicles parked on both sides of Albert Close prevented them from accessing their home. There were also reports of vehicles partially blocking pavements, causing concerns for pedestrians, wheelchair users, those with pushchairs, and potentially restricting access for emergency vehicles.

We understand that school run times can be busy, but we ask everyone to please park safely, legally, and with consideration for local residents. A few extra minutes spent finding an appropriate parking space can make a significant difference to the safety and wellbeing of others.

Please remember:

✅ Do not block driveways or access to properties.
✅ Keep pavements clear for pedestrians.
✅ Ensure emergency vehicles can access all roads if required.
✅ Be respectful of residents living near the school.

Thank you to the vast majority of parents and carers who park responsibly. By working together, we can help keep our community safe and ensure good relations between the school and local residents.

Please share this message with anyone who regularly drops off or collects children from Blyton cum Laughton Primary School.
