Parking parents could be punished
The council has said it is installing the cameras in a bid to ‘help to tackle some of the real issues we experience in these areas.’
Locals have expressed their frustrations with parents who park in ‘keep clear’ zones, and the council hopes that introducing cameras and fines will solve the issues — as well as keep the area safe. One councillor said: ‘In Waltham and Scartho in particular, I know that there are major issues with cars stopping illegally and parking dangerously in the vicinity of the schools, blocking other vehicles and making the area unsafe for children walking to and from school.’For the first 2 weeks of term, parents caught parking illegally will receive a warning letter, but after that, mums and dads who don’t follow the rules will receive a £70 fine — reduced by half if paid within 2 weeks.
This doesn’t actually mean you’re allowed to park on the lines outside of these times, it means that between those hours parking wardens or local authority civil enforcement officers have the power to issue motorists with penalty charges for parking in the area.North East Lincolnshire Council has suggested that in order to avoid being fined, parents find ‘a suitable parking space’ near to the school, or if they can, that they walk their children to school rather than driving.
