Millbrook Park School honey trap zone

it is usual to put the words outside the bay so they can be read when cars are parked







Mr Mustard has been asked for help at this location. Private tickets aren't his thing but he will give some pointers.

It is a nightmare. The lady in question was collecting her daughter from a dance class when it was dark. She parked in the pick up bay briefly, at 8.03pm when, basically, you can't pick up or drop off and the nearest you could park would be Bittacy Hill about 800m away which is ridiculous. Needless to say a parking charge notice was issued.

Why would you choose to do anything at the school given the parking problems?

These from the school's website so they know about the parking problems.

It isn't cricket to suggest Waitrose's car park as an alternative, suggesting you teach your kids that parking and not using the shop is ok?
Mr Mustard has emailed the school to see if they have tried to get the times changed and what the response was.

One reason why people go wrong on private estates is they look like any other estate containing council adopted roads. In this case the road will be adopted later on which is probably why it has double yellow lines and a zebra crossing with belisha beacons.

Yours frugally

Mr Mustard

Update #1

It has been suggested that Mr Mustard refer motorists in difficulty to one of two on line help forums, which Mr Mustard is delighted to do

Update #2

The evidence pack of the parking operator has arrived. It says that the yellow sign within the bay (except for pick up and drop off) was not erected by them, how would you know? & why would you look for another sign when that one looks official?
