Sort out Parking for Walter & St Pauls Schools Drop off

We the undersigned petition Wokingham Borough Council to Resolve parking problems for Walter & St Pauls Schools Drop off

I have recently moved to Wokingham and its shocking to see such mess and chaos in the morning near Walter and St Pauls Schools. I quickly realised that it's much easier to walk as it will take longer and send me and the kids into panic when we go by car and try to find parking.

I am amazed by the patience of the parents and staff (my admiration for the school patrol lady)

However this is not possible when the weather is not so great especially with little ones and walking large distances during rain and snow.


All roads around the school have parking restrictions and parents fight/queue for the few spaces near the school (on Murray Road), leading to long queues and road blockages which is also dangerous as its quite narrow and 2 way street.


I urge the council to look at this genuine, long standing problem and find a creative solution to sort out the parking problems as typically parents usually drop off the kids and leave within 10-15 mins.

One suggestion based on regular observation is to allow parking during school run periods (8.15 to 9.15am & 3.15 to 4.15pm) on Arthur Road and Caroline Drive which are much quieter and hence not cause any traffic problems.
