to expect the school to try and do something about the ice cream van that parks at school gates at 3pm

I dont suppose there is alot that can be done hes perfectly legal to park in the position he chooses to sell and make his living. But honestly, the amount of parents ive heard moaning about him and the amount of stroppy kids ive seen demanding an ice cream on their exit from school is a bit much. I also get it from my two, they can see some kids are allowed to get one, but he is there every bloomin day. I certainly dont want my kids to eat ice cream every day.
I suppose i shouldnt overly stress out as the summer holidays are upon us now. But i do feel it sholdnt be allowed. Any one else?

This one at our school has only appeared in the last few weeks and he wasnt there last year, i suppose thats why its quite a topic at our school.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest there being an ice-cream van outside my dc's school. They are allowed one occasionally as a treat and the rest of the time quite happily walk past him. Heard no other complaints either from other mums

I like ours. If you don't want your children to have an ice cream, don't buy one. Simple!
