POLICE were at a Worcestershire school in a bid to tackle people parking inappropriately during pick up and drop off times. 

Concerns had been raised to West Mercia Police over parking concerns at Martley Primary School during the school run.

Police said their presence tends to deter people from parking inappropriately, and if not, officers can give advice about the parking.

PCSO Abigail Partridge said: "Today, our SNT team set off to Martley Primary School to address some parking issues.

"We understand that, unfortunately, there are issues with parking at most schools you go to. 

"This is why we tend to go out to one or two schools a week if we're available to do so. 

"Our presence tends to deter people from parking inappropriately, and if not, we can offer some advice about the parking.

"We also think it's great for little ones to see us as they get to see us more and be more comfortable around us."
