and live on Freeview channel 276
The Creswell Safer Neighbourhood Team have received multiple complaints over the last 18 months concerning bad parking along Elmton Road in Creswell – outside the Creswell Junior School.
An SNT spokesperson said: “We have been trying to educate residents about parking on the zig-zags. The penalty for parking on the markings is a £100 fine and it also carries three points on your driving licence.

“We contacted the council who agreed to fund the new banner and signs, the school allowed us to put up the banner on their fencing and Red Design kindly created our banner from our design idea.
“Please share this post and help educate others about the parking. We will no longer be advising drivers and we will be ticketing drivers caught parking on the white zig-zags.
“The zig-zags form part of road safety and are an important part of safety for the zebra crossing.”
