We live opposite a school and there have been problems over the years with idiotic parking. We are opposite the side entrance.
It's quite a narrow lane and no room for parking on both sides or even parking big cars as it stops the traffic altogether. Mostly it's been dealt with by us all parking in the road for a while so there is nowhere for them to park and by regular patrols by community police who ticket those causing an obstruction.
A few weeks ago the main road (where the main entrance is) was resurfaced and double yellow lines and more zig zags have appeared along the road. This limits parking very much and so the lazy ones now try to park in our lane.
I say the lazy ones because they have permission to park in the church car park - 200 yards away or the pub car park 200 yards away. There is also a lay by at the bottom of the lane.
This morning I was walking up the lane when a car turned into a near neighbour's drive. I knew my neighbour was away so as the woman got out (and her child got out) I asked if she was there to see Mrs E. She said she wasn't but there was nowhere else to park and her daughter needed to get to school. Then she tried to walk round me.
I said she couldn't park there and she needed to move. She had a major hissy fit, drawing quite a bit of attention and embarrassing her DD. Another neighbour came out and took a photo of her car and said it would be reported.
So she got back in and reversed out crossly, nearly hitting other cars trying to go down the lane. Unbelievable.
