North Wales Police say they have recently received 'numerous concerns' from residents over the issue.

As a result, the force has decided to issue a polite reminder to those who have been parking on the zig-zag lines.

PCSO Laura Shiers of the Wrexham Rural team said: "I have recently received numerous concerns from local residents and schools, regarding inconsiderate parking along Plas Kynaston Lane and Kenfig Place. 

"We understand that the school 'drop off' and 'pick up' can be a stressful time for parents whilst trying to locate a parking space, however, it is an offence to park on the white zig-zag lines surrounding the zebra crossing outside the school gates. 

"This could result in a fine and an endorsement of penalty points on your licence. Parking spaces are available next to the MUGA.

"Importantly, zig zag lines outside schools should be kept clear at all times, please remember that they are there to safeguard children!"
