PARKING OPTIONS AT GROVE SCHOOL

PRESS RELEASE

23 June 2009

Following representations from the school, parents and ward councillors various options to try to find a solution to parking issues at the Grove School will be considered by Councillors on 23 June 2009 at Rural, Economic and Environmental Affairs Committee.

The school has identified that the narrow access road and small car park is a concern.  The area can become very congested and difficult for parents to safely drop off and collect their children. The Council has been working with the school to try to help find a solution.

Councillor Nigel Angrave said "We will work with the County Council to find a longer term solution to this problem. In the meantime at Melton Borough Council we recognise there are issues and concerns and the Committee has some options that officers have developed for them to consider."
