An SNT spokesperson said: “This has resulted in near misses with small children on occasions.
“Police patrols were conducted yesterday during school closing times. During those times no vehicles were parked dangerously or contravened any parking regulations.
“This clearly demonstrates that if parents can park safely when there is a police presence then it shouldn't be a problem to park safely all of the time.
