Our former head said exactly the same. But now there is one and the

My personal feeling is that that the school *should* take
responsibility for the traffic it generates and deal with it
accordingly. However, we always seem to end up with an eternal
triangle of blame dodging: The school say it is a police matter, the
police say it is a council matter and the council say it is a school
matter. ******s - the lot of 'em.
And yet if it were a commercial company/s at the centre of such congestion
then the authorities would be down on them like a ton of bricks.
As you say, ******s.
No the problem is that the car culture is so powerful and has
permeated every aspect of our society that nobody, apart from a few
like me, dare oppose it. Don't forget too that those ******s are
statistically more than likely to be motorists themselves.
Two schools near me have large free car parks for their teachers and
virtually no cycle parking.
