Current priorities

Reports of dangerous and inconsiderate parking around schools during drop off and pick up.

Macclesfield North and Poynton are continuing to receive reports of inconsiderate parking at drop off and pick up. Residents and staff at the schools have raised concerns that driveways are being blocked, cars are being double parked or dangerously parked putting students at risk when walking to school. Officers have attended the areas and educated parents and taken positive action against those committing offences.
