PARENTS dropping off and collecting children from Tylers Green Middle School, Cock Lane, amaze me.

They park on the brow of a hill, on a bend, endangering children and themselves. There's also congestion and pollution. They do it despite there being a car park opposite and appeals by the police and staff. Last year the police even put "no parking" bollards outside for a day or two.

That memory has faded now and the lazy parkers are back. Some mothers drive for two or three minutes from home, instead of walking on nice spring and summer days. They set a bad example to their children.
