The neighbours of a Sheffield school hate how parents jam their street with cars twice a day. There’s probably no solace in knowing the parents hate it too.

Every morning and afternoon, Guildford Rise in Arbourthorne transforms from a moderately busy residential street into a bumper-to-bumper circus. The no-through-way road is 110m and is only a minute’s walk away from the school gates – making it the go to parking spot for parents.

When The Star arrived before the rush at 8.10am on Wednesday, there were 36 residential cars parked on Guildford Rise. By the time the school gates were locked an hour later, 44 cars and four taxis had come and gone.
