Hull Schools Get New Cameras to Stop Illegal Parking
30 Jan
Summary
- CCTV cameras installed at four Hull primary schools for road safety.
- A warning period is in place until February 13, followed by £70 fines.
- Trial at Parkstone Primary saw a 72% reduction in parking restriction breaches.
CCTV cameras have been installed at four Hull primary schools to improve road safety and combat illegal parking. The cameras are now operational at St. Richard's Voluntary Catholic Academy, Victoria Dock Primary School, Wold Academy, and Francis Askew Primary School.
A warning period is in effect until February 13. During this time, motorists who break parking rules will receive a formal notice by post. Following this period, fines of £70 will be issued for violations.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo emphasized the importance of this measure for creating a safer school environment for children. The installation follows a successful trial at Parkstone Primary School, which reported a 72% decrease in vehicles breaching parking restrictions.
Hull City Council aims to improve safety for children and pedestrians before and after school hours. The council reminded drivers that parking on School Keep Clear zones or zig-zag markings is illegal, as are restrictions indicated by yellow lines. Fines can be reduced to £35 if paid promptly. Civil enforcement officers will continue monitoring schools without CCTV parking enforcement.
