Burnham: Mum calls for action over 'horrendous' school parking
9:00am Saturday 27th October 2012 in Local News By Emma Robinson
An example of the dangerous parking on Dunkirk Road
A worried mum is calling for action after a child was nearly knocked over outside a Burnham primary school because of “horrendous” parking.
For about 30 minutes each morning and afternoon, motorists obstruct driveways, block roads and park on double yellow lines and zig-zags outside Burnham County Primary School, in Dunkirk Road.
Florist Dawn McCarthy, 46, of Western Road, thinks something needs to be done quickly before a tragic accident occurs.
She said: “It’s absolutely horrendous.
“People are constantly parking across zig zag lines and double yellow lines to drop their kids off and blocking children’s vision of the road.
“It’s an accident waiting to happen.”

Where ever there is a school this will always happen.
Why should their little treasures WALK to school if they can be dropped of in the school doorway.
Where ever = wherever
Why should = a question yet there isn't a question mark at the end of your sentence.
