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.

That's because there is no demand for them. Like you say "car culture is so
powerful and has permeated every aspect of our society" that nobody is going
to cycle a short distance when they could use their own personal automotive
transport instead.
