This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed. We the undersigned petition Hounslow Council to Revise Parking Restrictions to allow safe school pick-up and drop on Lionel Road North. More details More details from petition creatorThis petition is to allow school pick up and drop on Lionel Road North around the Lionel Primary School by removing parking restrictions between the hours of 8.30am – 9.30am and 3.00pm – 4.00pm. We would request Hounslow council to amend the parking restrictions around the Lionel primary school to allow parents to safely drop/pick up their children. There are a lot of working parents, who drop off and pick up their children from Lionel primary school on their way to work. By imposing parking restrictions to such an extent, on the streets surrounding the school at drop off and pick up time, the council is endangering children and causing unnecessary stress and anxiety to parents. Parents should be able to drop & pick-up their children without having to worry about getting a PCN ticket. There should be a time slot for parents to be able to safely stop the car for 5-10 mins during school rush hours. We appreciate that there are a few pay-by-phone bays on the road, but expecting parents to pay for a 1-hour parking twice every day is grossly unfair as normally it only takes 5-10mins to pick-up or drop children to the school. Whilst we understand the council encourages the use of Public transport and has made arrangements for special school buses due to COVID, however, the reality is that the buses are extremely busy and full. It only increases the risk of COVID. In such a scenario driving to school remains the only safe option for parents who are not close enough to walk to school with small children. These changes would go a long way in reducing the stress that the parents are currently under due to concerns around COVID. Current signatoriesS Datta, the petition creator, joined by:
