Emergency services and council staff are staging a crackdown on dangerous school-run Parking.

A task force of police officers, firefighters and parking wardens visited four primaries in Brighton and Hove yesterday and will be back on patrol today.

They handed out letters to parents warning about the number of accidents caused by parking dangerously around schools, particularly on yellow zig-zag lines.

Headteacher Jenny Aldridge, whose school Rudyard Kipling Primary, in Chalkland Rise, Woodingdean, was visited yesterday, said: “Parking on zig zag lines by a minority of drivers is a persistent problem here. We really welcome this support from Brighton and Hove City Council in working to reduce the possibility of a serious incident caused by this inconsiderate and dangerous parking.”
