But parents say they don't see an issue
A group of Arnold residents have spoken of their frustration with parents of pupils at a nearby school, claiming they 'monopolise the road'. People living at Glendale Gardens say cars being parked at its junction with Gedling Road near Arnold View Primary School are causing a safety risk.
“Parents park all the way down the main road as well as on the corner of the road," said the 33-year-old careers worker. “I think there needs to be more care and consideration for the people who live on this street. “I’ve got quite a big car so I struggle to drive down the road, there’s a lack of visibility and a risk to the safety of children and residents. For 33 weeks of the year we don’t have our road, it’s monopolised by the parents who don’t care.”
The 33-year-old mum said there was not always space at the nearby Friar Tuck pub car park, adding it was difficult to push their prams up the hill. "If there was anywhere else to park I would," she said. "We are only here for 15 minutes. I've never seen anyone blocked in."
