School-run parking is a nightmare again (From Thurrock Gazette)

Get a life!

Surely they are only there for a matter of minutes if they are dropping off? - it is difficult for people who have to drop off children too. So it's inconvenient for your for a matter of minutes twice a day? Can you not just wait a few minutes before you leave your house? Surely that's not too much to ask?

Simple don't move near a school.

Plan your day better, If you need to go out, go early or later on!If you have complained to the school, council and police and none have done anything, it is probably because you are a serial moaner.
As the first poster says .... GET A LIFE!!!!

I make Mr Duff absolutely right. The way parents park around Chafford Campus is appalling and all they do is create traffic chaos, box in the poor residents and make it dangerous for anyone trying to cross the road. There needs to be much better parking enforcement around this school inparticular and the other schools in the borough. Those on here saying 'get a life' are probably the ones creating all the havoc.

'and all they do is create traffic chaos'!

For a few minutes? Get over it.
Oh and my kids are grown up so I don't do the school run, so therefore I do not cause the so called 'havoc' you report.
Havoc!!! pmsl.

I am so sick of reading these comments from miserable people that clearly do not have children or have forgotten what the school run is like because their kids are now older! I agree that some parents drive and park ridiculously around the school but the majority of us have respect for the residents around us. Schools have to be where the children are believe it or not, so are bound to be where someone lives. The school run is for a matter of minutes a day for christ sake, did you not see the school opposite you when you bought your properties! You chose to live there remember! For those residents that report getting abused by mums at the school, maybe its because you are outside at drop of and collection times making comments and winding them all up! As it is the police stop us parking to collect our children, at all schools in Chafford, and the schools are constantly sending home letters to parents urging them to respect those around us, which most of us acknowledge. Maybe you should go to the education department to express your concerns with parking as they give our chafford school places to those who live outside of Chafford, making parents have to drive to collect their children and blocking your roads, and leaving us residents that can walk to school with no spaces in the school for our kids. It is not the school that is to blame nor the parents. What do you suggest we do abandon our children at school!!! Such a stupid thing to be complaning about!
