North Wales Police (NWP) recently visited school again to monitor the parking situation around the local roads, junctions and the zig zags outside the front entrance. We have been asked by NWP to publish the attached letter to explain the new powers that are being issued to PCSOs with regards to issuing tickets for parking offences and the powers available to WCBC Parking Enforcement Officers.

Additional information regarding zig zags and a list of schools (including Barkers Lane School) where WCBC are putting into place additional enforcement notices, can be found in the Evening Leader article at

Please, when you are dropping off and/or picking up the children, park legally, with consideration to our neighbours and without causing any obstructions. Please do not block the chicanes at either end of Barkers Lane outside of school (we have seen large vehicles, buses and lorries struggling to get through) nor park on the yellow lines on the junction of Barkers Lane/Lisburne Grove. 

The police and/or WCBC parking enforcement will be visiting local schools unannounced at the start and finish of the day and they will be educating and/or enforcing where necessary. Please park safely and responsibly.

As you may have observed last week, the police visited to monitor the traffic outside school at home time and spoke to some drivers about parking on the yellow lines, across the dropped kerb and at the junctions and/or chicanes. Our new police officer PC Roberts has since emailed to explain that he will be calling into school at morning drop offs and afternoon pick ups on a random basis and has asked that we contact the parents and grandparents & etc who are driving to school, to send a reminder out about considerate and legal parking.

Please find attached a letter from PC Roberts at North Wales Police regarding his follow up to several complaints reported by our neighbours to the police about parking obstructions and inconsiderate behaviours. Please do take the time to read the letter and to pass on the information contained within to any friends or relatives who may be involved in dropping off or picking up the children.

The staff, children and neighbours thank you for your support with safe and considerate parking at school.

Diolch yn fawr.
