I don't really understand why teachers in London can't get public transport like everyone else. Quite a few do already and it's not like we aren't very well served by public transport or that they go home late in the evenings. On Thorpewood Avenue there are two schools and consequently there is very little parking for residents with no drive. There are a fair few shop owners, pool users etc too which all adds up. It makes life very awkward for those residents with small children or the elderly. That's why there has been a petition for controlled parking for those houses but not others which I think is sensible.
