Free parking to pick up children from Clayton-le-Woods C of E Primary School.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Provide free parking for parents to drop off and pick up their children from Clayton-le-Woods Church of England primary school, so parents don’t continue to receive fines from private parking companies.

I have emailed the local MP about this matter with no response. This school is in the countryside and therefore in most cases parents have to drive there to drop off/pick their children up from school. Private parking companies now own the car parks adjacent to the school and have been fining parents 1000’s for overstaying the mere 15 minutes grace period. Traffic and parking is very dangerous round here leading to dangerous driving and parking as people fear receiving a parking fine.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about local parking are a matter for the relevant local authority and private parking operators, not the UK Government or Parliament.
