Kelvin Hall School and Wyke College oarking

John Fareham and John Abbott are working to resolve problems with on-street parking on Bricknell Avenue by staff and students from Wyke College and Kelvin Hall School.

We have received complaints from local residents to the effect that vehicles which should ideally be parked on the premises of either local educational establishment are instead being parked on Bricknell Avenue itself.  This would seem problematical, especially as such vehicles can, for work reasons, be left there as late as 8 pm, and research into the planning conditions under which both sets of educational premises were built suggests that sufficient on-site parking provision was made a condition of planning permission being granted in the first instance for at least one of the two institutions.  We have therefore written to both Wyke College and Kelvin Hall School asking for their cooperation in keeping staff and student vehicles off the road.  As and when we receive a reply we will of course inform local residents of the outcome.
