    Presumably they only care

    Presumably they only care about air quality for the 6 or so hours per day that their child is at school, but the other 18 hours per day and all weekend is open season?

    NIMBYs.

    “vast majority”….     what pompous nonsense.

    Maybe its 51.89% of the parents – I think that constitutes a “vast majority”, doesn’t it?

    So you both know that the ‘vast majority’ of parents drive their kids to school and only want less cars so they can park easily…. seriously ? OK, i’m up for that – show us your figures.

    Edit : removed the last snarky bit but seriously, the comment comes across as typical Daily Mail style sweeping generalisations based on nothing but bigotry and bias. I might be nice for folk on here to try and do somewhat better…

    One of those comments is what’s known as a ‘Brexitwhoosh’.

    Ah – pooh – idiot self. Excellent point – apologies to brooksby. Thanks davel.

    yes

    Every school has them. Some of the parking I’ve seen at my kids’ schools… Reprobates would drive into the buildings and throw their kids out of the window if they could get away with it.
