While reading your piece about the parking troubles at Walwayne School and the children’s teachers’ protest outside the school, I was both surprised and cross with this.

As a regular user of Brook Road, I myself have nearly been hit by car doors opening and nearly had an accident trying to get through at certain times of the day.

Please Walwayne School, look at your own front door. The drivers that park on the lines and double-park are your own parents, grandparents etc, who drop off or pick up the children from this school.

They also park in the shops when they can’t park on the road, so no one can park there.

Most of the children live in the catchment area for this school. What is the matter with walking? Exercise is good for you.

I suggest the school starts sorting this out first before using children for their protests.
