SCHOOL PARKING, FLOCKTONWe have had reports of inconsiderate parking on Pinfold Lane and Pinfold Close at Flockton, especially at school dropping off and picking up times. If you are a parent who uses these areas, please be mindful of how and where you park. We appreciate that mornings are a busy time and that you may not be parked there for long, but please be considerate to residents and other road users.
ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR, GRANGE MOORAfter a quiet few months in Grange Moor, reports of young people causing anti-social behaviour have unfortunately started again, in particular targeting the Mobile Library. We will be patrolling in Grange Moor in the evenings in order to hopefully nip this in the bud, and we would appreciate the support of parents in the area. Do you know where your children are in the evenings, who they are with and what they up to? Ensure that your children are not the ones involved in anti-social behaviour. Those of you who are will soon be getting home visits from us.
