Another push to stop parents from parking outside a city school has been made following police warnings earlier this year.

Complaints about the chaos outside the Lodge Lane Infant School gates at pick-up and drop-off times saw police officers increase patrols near the Old Catton school.

Bright yellow signs have been put up saying "don't park here, you could endanger a child's life" and "polite notice, think before you park" due to the issues on the narrow 20mph stretch of road.

The previous signs had said "safe parking starts with you".

A spokesman for Lodge Lane Infant School said: "Lodge Lane has displayed signs regarding parking for many years.  

“The new banner is a replacement for the previous sign which was worn.  

“Whilst we have always been aware of concerns from residents about parking in the vicinity of the school, parents were also concerned about the safety of children when crossing the road as the way some cars are parked obstructs vision for safe crossing.  

“While we do encourage parents to either walk or cycle into school, we know this is not possible for some families and therefore we are doing everything possible to remind parents to be considerate when parking." 

The issue is familiar at many of the city's schools but the Lodge Lane problems prompted a warning from police in February.

A spokesman said: "We will continue to monitor the situation but encourage all parents and carers to be mindful about where they are parking to ensure the safety of children and adults going into the school."

It's been a similar story just up the road at White Woman Lane School, where Sprowston Town Council has backed calls for a new safety fence to be installed due to overcrowding at peak times.  

But headteacher Ashley Best-White, while agreeing there was an issue with parking and traffic, was concerned that fencing could be used as a climbing frame.
