Long debate in tonight's Council on parents parking dangerously at schools throughout Dundee. They park on the hatchings, on double yellows, on pavements ... in spite of our best efforts, they carry on. A Broughty Ferry councillor wanted the Chief Exec to chair a working group to sort out the problems at Forthill ... fine, but there are problems everywhere so the Council decided to create a group for the whole town.
My hope is that the group will help us design the new schools in Coldside and Menzieshill in such a way that children and cars are kept apart.
This is an emotive issue. It's not just that drivers are too selfish or lazy to get out of their cars. We're talking here about parents who naturally want to watch their child get safely into school. The problem is that their behaviour puts everyone's child at risk, including their own.
