Important new signage in place outside Great Malvern Primary School will help keep Children Safe.
As one of the local Police Community Support Officers for the area, PCSO Kev Tudge recognised the need for more to be done to help keep the children safe.
“Given that there were a few parents showing no regard for the Children's safety at Great Malvern Primary School by continually parking on the Zig Zags directly outside Great Malvern Primary school, despite being advised not to do so, I liaised with Cllr’s Malcolm Victory and Marilyn Birks, in order to help obtain a Traffic Regulatory Order from Worcestershire Highways”.
“Clearly the safety of the Children is paramount, I would like to thank Councillors, Malcolm Victory and Marilyn Birks, for helping to obtain the 'No Stopping at Anytime' signs, which are now in place outside the school.”
This now means that Officers and Malvern Hills District Council Parking Enforcement Officers, can issue fixed penalty notices should anyone park on the zig zags.
Cllr Victory said, “I am pleased to have been of help with this positive action, which will go some way to helping keep Children safe, on arriving and leaving the school”.
The school have said that since the signs have been put in place, the parking concerns directly outside the school have noticeably improved.
Following this half term, the Pickersleigh and Chase Safer Neighbour Police Team will continue to be present outside the school, when commitments allow.
