Peeved parents have slammed their local council’s proposal to install ULEZ style ANPR cameras outside schools claiming it places a tax on dropping off their kids.
The new CCTV cameras, which were approved by Bristol City Council last week, will soon be installed in problem areas of the city in a bid to stamp out illegal parking.
The cameras will operate on rotation at every school in Bristol meaning no parent will be safe from the potential fines.
Council chiefs claim the new cameras will only target those who park irresponsibly but frustrated parents say it is hard enough for them to drop off kids safely.
One mother told MailOnline the priority should be to have more legal parking without being fined.
She said: ‘The council needs to do more to allow legal parking. They are making it harder to park.
‘More people are going to park illegally. We just want somewhere legal to park for 20 minutes where we don’t have to do this.
‘We have to get our children to school somehow but we don’t want to leave our primary school children alone. We want to accompany them safely to school.’
