Police in Midsomer Norton and Radstock are continuing to tackle illegal and dangerous parking around schools.

Patrols around St Nicholas School and Westfield Primary have continued following reports of motorists parking on zig-zags around each school. A number of drivers have been given strong words of advice and some have been given advisory tickets. Further offenders may be given penalty notices.

The team have been patrolling roads alongside schools, to keep vehicles from stopping / parking on the yellow zig zag markings.These markings indicate a clear way, and any vehicles seen stopped at the side of the road within these zones, will be reported for the Traffic Offence. These zones create a safe area for children to cross the road, free of obstructions which obscure their view of the road, allowing them to cross safely.
