"Please may I appeal to those dropping off near to schools; if you can walk or use public transport, please do so. 

"It’s better for you and the environment.

"If you do have to drive, leave a little earlier and park safely a little further afield and walk the final part of the journey. 

"Ultimately this will ensure that no children or other members of the public get hurt in a collision."
