Parents parking irresponsibly at Carlow schools as findings of report presented to council

A Council engineer says local authorities can’t act as “police men” at schools where parents are parking irresponsibly.

Liam Fitzgerald of Carlow County Council says a lot of people park without any respect for the local school community.

He was speaking as he presented the findings of a major study on the need for school wardens in county Carlow.

The results of the assessment show pedestrian crossings are also being recommended at a number of local schools.

Intervention from the Council is needed at Ballinabranna NS, Our Lady’s NS in Nurney and Rathoe NS.
