Call for cameras outside schools to catch 'selfish' parking backed

EAST Riding councillors have backed calls for cameras to be used to issue fines to parents who drive up to school gates.

Councillors unanimously backed a motion brought to the council by the Labour Party’s Cllr David Nolan.

Cllr Nolan, who represents the Hessle ward in the council, presented the motion at June’s full council meeting which asked the council's cabinet to investigate installing automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras outside school gates, to automatically fine parents who drive up to the gates to drop off and collect their children.
