🚑🚨 Chaos at school pick-up! An ambulance got stuck in a jam outside Hendredenny Park Primary School in Caerphilly this week. As parents parked recklessly on both sides of the road, a paramedic had to get out and knock on car windows, asking people to move so the ambulance could pass. The situation got so bad, one eyewitness spent 30 minutes behind the ambulance, missing her dental appointment and calling the scene “abysmal.”
It’s a haunting reminder for her, as she was rushed to hospital two weeks earlier and knows how critical ambulance response times can be. “If I had been in that ambulance waiting, it’s unlikely I would have survived,” she shared.
Locals have been frustrated for ages as this isn’t a new problem. Parking has long been an issue outside the school, raising concerns about safety for both children and residents of the area. One resident mentioned, “It’s always been an issue, my kids went to that school. When you confront parents who park like that, you just get a mouthful of abuse.”
Could this be a wake-up call for better traffic management outside schools? Let us know your thoughts below! 🚗❌
