Parking enforcement is crucial for school safety as cuts limit camera car use. Report violations to BCP or Dorset Police.
You can report illegal parking to BCP. Double yellows or blocked curbs are examples. Call or email parking attendants. Remember, they can’t respond to every situation instantly. Dorset Police runs Operation Snap. This program accepts reports of dangerous parking. Blocking zigzags or endangering people qualifies.
The Echo reports on dangerous parking often. Parents can send in footage from dashcams, helmet cams, or phones. Police might issue warnings or fines. Prosecution notices are also possible.
Film dangerously parked cars. Examples include parking on sidewalks or near corners. Blocking safe crossings or zigzags is dangerous. Parents and schools should use these rules. This promotes stress-free school drop-offs and pickups.
Wardens can’t be everywhere without the camera car. Illegal chaos happens at school gates. Parents park close to keep kids safe. Pavement parking causes problems. Something must stop this cycle.
