A barrier is being added in the school car park that will reduce the number of available parking spaces to 4 or 5. Access to additional spaces beyond the barrier will be via an ANPR sensor, which obviously will exclude us from parking. This will also impact on other community users of the school e.g. Monday’s keep fit class, Saturday’s gymnastics….

I am in conversation with the school to see if alternative parking arrangements can be made, perhaps opening up a playground as used to be the case.

In the meantime, if you are forced to park in Hilary Avenue, please park considerately as residents are already in discussion with Portsmouth City Council re parking issues, speeding etc.

The new ANPR gates also potentially impact on fire evacuation routes from the hall, so we shall be checking out the alternative routes!
