New parking restrictions planned outside Shropshire secondary school
The council says the measures would “keep the approaches to the school accesses clear”
Fresh parking restrictions are being proposed for a road outside a Shropshire secondary school.
Shropshire Council has opened a consultation on potential new restrictions in Coppice Green Lane in Shifnal, outside Idsall School.
The consultation opened on October 29 and runs until November 19.
The council says the restrictions, which would apply at school drop-off and pick-up times, are to make it safer and reduce congestion.
The plan is to have “no waiting” and “no loading” restrictions on two stretches outside the school from 8.30am to 9.30am and 2pm to 4pm from Mondays to Fridays.
The restrictions would apply to the side of the lane nearest to the school between the entry and exit points for its car park, and continuing northeast to the entrance for Shifnal Football Club.
The council consultation states: “Timed waiting and loading restrictions are being introduced to prevent vehicles from parking or loading on Coppice Green Lane during the school peak periods.
“These restrictions will help to keep the approaches to the school accesses clear, maintain visibility for drivers and pedestrians, reduce obstruction and congestion, and support safer pedestrian movements and the efficient flow of traffic at the times of greatest demand.”
