Important Reminder About Parking and Road Safety

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have recently received concerns from local residents about parking around the school, particularly on the Foxglove Meadows and Heol Senni estates. Residents have reported issues such as blocked access, cars parked on kerbs and yellow-lined curbs, and congestion that could prevent emergency vehicles from getting through.

Please remember:

• Do not park in private estates such as Foxglove Meadows or Heol Senni
• Do not block driveways, kerbs, or access routes—this is dangerous and inconsiderate
• Avoid parking on yellow lines or in a way that restricts traffic flow

We understand that parking near the school is challenging, especially during busy times and events, as we have very limited parking. However, it is essential that we all work together to keep our community safe and respectful.

What you can do:

• Use legal on-street parking where permitted and park considerately.
• If possible, walk to school or park further away and walk the last part of the journey.
• For events, consider using alternative parking.

We will continue to remind families about this in future communications, and we are exploring ways to share a calendar of school events with local residents so they can plan ahead.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain good relationships with our neighbours and ensuring the safety of everyone in our community.

Kind regards,

Newport High School
