We live near a primary school and for the past year the parents have increasingly used the street as a drop off/pick up point. They have blocked my car in 3 times and i have had to wait until they come back to ask them not to do it again as i may be trying to get to something important and it's really not fair (dds doctors appointment) i now avoid leaving my house around school times because i hate the hassle. Today i finally reached the end of my tether when a parent was inches away from crashing into me when she decided to reverse out (at full speed) into a main road. I was slowing down as i was approaching the junction but i still had to perform an emergency stop and scared dd. When she finally parked i asked her why she done that as it was a very dangerous manoeuvre and if someone wasn't paying attention like me it could've ended badly. She cried and told me she was running late for picking her dd up which i then told her was no excuse and she needs to be more careful in future. I approached another parent and asked her if she or other parents have ever spoken to the school themselves to see if they could fund a new car park (the current car park is tiny) and she lost her temper at me and asked why should they it's fine the way it is. I have complained to the school numerous times and they say they understand and they have loads of complaints everyday but won't do anything about it. I literally begged them for help even if they can send someone to help organise the traffic as i am frightened someone is going to get hurt. The children constantly run around on the road and with parents driving to fast it is an accident waiting to happen. But they will not do anything. I have complained to the council and our local pcso but nothing has been done. I have asked other residents that live here and they are getting fed up aswell. Our local mp is having a public meeting on monday which i will attend to see if she can help in anyway. I have been taking a note of how many cars come in the morning and afternoon, also number plates. But what can i do now? It seems like no one wants to do anything about it..
