SIR,

Parking on Hereford Road during school time is a nightmare.

People who think 54 parked cars "slow the traffic down" obviously haven't noticed that during school holidays we are 54 parked cars less and no-one has been injured by speeding traffic.

Not having the ability to drive out of your own drive is not an ideal situation and the local buses find it impossible. Girls please use the school car park which is usually less than half full at any time and which was developed against all the wishes of people living in Dixton Close.

The car parking is Dixton Close is caused mostly by its being used by shoppers, shop keepers and patients at the nearby doctor's surgery.

Again great difficulty for driving out of your own drive and local buses having severe difficulties.

Total 'No Parking' in both roads is not the answer. Maybe 'Residents Parking' should be considered.
