A resident in Bushey blocked a footpath with their car to stop parents using their road as a drop-off point for a local school.
There has been an ongoing feud between residents of a cul-de-sac in the Meadowcroft estate and parents at St Hilda’s Preparatory School for Girls.
Automatic number plate recognition cameras were installed 18 months ago to stop parents from parking in the cul-de-sac, with fines of £100.
Following this, graffiti was sprayed at the entrance to the estate, informing drivers that the cul-de-sac is a private road.
With these measures failing to deter the problem, a resident has now resorted to physically blocking the footpath with their car.
A St Hilda’s parent, who received two fines totalling £120 for parking on the road last year, told Daily Mail: “We completely respect the residents’ right to privacy and we don’t want to intrude. Parents are genuinely worried for their children’s safety and we just want to take our children to and from school.”
St Hilda’s has been contacted for comment.
