Berkeley Primary School, parking problems

Campaigners have won their fight to have double yellow lines on streets around a primary school in Wistaston.

The lines are now on streets around Berkeley Primary School, Rope, and the traffic order will come into force on June 25.

Willaston and Rope Ward Cllr Brian Silvester has welcomed the move.

He said: “I have campaigned for this measure for some years and I am pleased Cheshire East Council has taken it forward.

“There are serious parking problems at the beginning and the end of the school day at the top of Lochleven Road and in Rope Bank Avenue at the junction with Laidon Avenue.

“Parents dropping off and picking up at the school park at the junctions which makes it very difficult for vehicles to pull out safely.

“Also some parents park in front of drives which  makes it impossible for residents to get their cars out.

“Local residents are rightly angry at the careless parking of a small minority of parents and I hope the action being taken will solve the problem to a large degree.

“I call on the small minority of parents who park inconsiderately not to do so. Police continue to monitor the area and will not hesitate to hand out fines if inappropriate parking occurs.”

  1. Don’t get me wrong its great that the yellow lines have been laid but one of the worst areas affected by the traffic is lochleven road and the lines only go just round the corner onto lochleven so its pretty much useless ‘They need to go further down the road to do any good
