February 2011 Sudbury and Great Cornard Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) have been very active in Great Cornard during the past few months especially in Nursery Road, which, was tasked as a policing priorities, by local residents. We received many complaints regarding both inconsiderate and illegal parking particularly at school drop off times. Letters were sent to all parents at the schools in the area stating that police would be targeting the area, and where applicable fixed penalty tickets would be issued. It was also made clear that it is every motorist’s responsibility to assess if, by virtue of parking their vehicle in any given place, they will be causing an obstruction to other vehicles, or the view of other motorists. Patrols in the area were carried out and our presence, I am sure, prevented many people parking incorrectly, and where it did not, warning notices and fixed penalty tickets were issued. Poor parking practice continues to be one of the biggest complaints I receive as the Great Cornard SNT police officer. Parking on double yellow lines, obstruction of dropped curbs and driveways, parking on junctions, and even a complaint of a stranger using another’s driveway whilst dropping their child off at school. Many of the drivers spoken to complained that because it was so busy at school drop off times, they had no other choice but to park their vehicle where they did. Many of those drivers spoken to travelled less than half a mile to drop off their child in their car! When parking on yellow lines or when causing an obstruction to other road users and pedestrians you could be issued with a £30 fixed penalty ticket. Please exercise consideration and a common sense approach when parking your vehicle in any area, and this could save you a significant amount of money and embarrassment.
