As youngsters return to school, police are reminding people to make sure they park safely and legally when dropping off and picking up.
Inconsiderate parking near schools often blocks pavements, forcing people to walk in the road, or makes it difficult for residents to access their own homes, or traffic to get through.
Glossop Police Safer Neighbourhood Team are urging people to not park in a way that causes an obstruction to other road users and pedestrians.
Police can remove your unattended vehicle if you cause an obstruction, and Civil Enforcement Officers can issue you with a penalty charge notice for stopping in a restricted area. This means blocking a driveway or a path even for a short amount of time.
Glossop SNT continue to work closely with schools, DCC Highways and other key agencies to look at long term ways to improve school parking.
