Overview

  • Morning and afternoon drop-offs by Nunnery Wood High School parents and Worcester Sixth Form College students double-park on Spetchley Road, blocking access for residents.
  • Homeowners report that blocked driveways have delayed deliveries, forced vehicles onto neighbouring properties and created safety hazards.
  • A funeral hearse was obstructed on double yellow lines and had to reverse down the street during a late April service.
  • Residents who confront drivers say they face foul-language abuse and some have considered moving away to escape the disruptions.
  • Worcestershire County Council will launch a consultation on formal parking restrictions after Councillor Willmore labelled current conditions intolerable.
