Malling school parking

I see parents are blatantly ignoring the new double yellow lines around the top of Barn Road and are parking on the pavement. I will be taking photos and reporting accordingly.
Perhaps some of the parking men/ladies would like to come up in the morning and issue a few tickets???

There is no effective penalty for people making like this. Its illegal but the authorities are not interested in issuing fines etc.

if we can't rely on our local parking wardens to come and fine people what has the world come to!
I propose we all get on with our lives and ignore this huge issue.

Yes let's get on with our lives and ignore this huge issue.
It's far from huge though, it's a very minor problem that shouldn't be given 1 minutes thought. It's doesn't affect anyone other than being an annoyance and no real harm is done anyway.
Come to think of it, that applies to a lot of things, weed, beggars, littering, speeding, shop lifting, vandalism of public property, parking on double yellows, the list goes on.
All relatively minor crimes where the victims have no face.
One question, who decides which issues are ignored and which aren't?

This area is outside the jurisdiction of the Lewes parking gestapo; so they cannot issue any profitable tickets. Parking on double yellow lines is a matter for the Police. Unless the lard arse is registered disabled and displays a valid blue badge. Even then, they should not park as to cause an obstruction.

Double yellow lines are there for a reason. For ambulances and fire engines to safely get past etc. I agree, not for lard arse mums with no jobs who arrive an hour before the school day finishes just so they can secure their spot on the double yellows.

All schools need to cater for parents picking up or dropping off kids. Making it illegal but not enforcing it at school start and stop times is a good and very British approach. It means it can work for parents but people can't park there normally. Start enforcing at school pick up times and the whole strategy fails.
