PARKING AROUND SCHOOLS NEEDS TO BE SORTED OUT.


I went out today with members of the Oscott Neighbourhood Police Tasking Group (NTG)volunteer members to look at parking problems around the Perry Beeches and Great Barr Schools.
Along with the Police, we spoke to a number of residents and are trying to help with a number of parking issues.
Sandy Lane and Malthouse Lane are roads which are suffering a lot from cars being parked there while parent collect their children from the near by schools.
I have again called on the Birmingham City Council to look again a considering a residents parking scheme in the area as something more needs to be done to sort out these parking problems.
The Oscott NTG will certainly be looking at these parking issues as a priority to see what can be done. I would like to thank all those who took part today and the many residents who let us have their views and concerns.
Other schools in the area also face major parking problems and Councillor Barbara Dring and I will continue to ask the Transportation department to keeping trying to come up with some suitable solutions although we no there are no easy solutions.
