What was going on

School Council teach parents a lesson PUPILS at St Nicholas' Primary School, Lincolnshire, have had enough of naughty parents parking illegally in the yellow zigzag zones and decided to take control for themselves.

What we did

Despite appeals from staff for parent and guardians to stop, many have continued to park dangerously when picking up and dropping children off at school.

What changed

So, in a bid to deter the illegal parking, members of the school council decided it was time they took some action and started to petition parents with leaflets at the school gates as they drop off their children.

Issue: Linking with parents/governors/community
