Police carried out parking patrols around schools on Wattleton Road in Beaconsfield this morning, September 18. 

The patrols, conducted by the Beaconsfield Neighbourhood Policing Team, resulted in two parking tickets being issued by traffic enforcement officers. 

A number of motorists were also given words of advice during the operation.

Police said they also received reports of other locations where parking and speeding are causing concern which they will look to action. 

A spokesperson for Thames valley Police said: "We had lots of positive conversations with pupils, parents and commuters.

"These patrols are taking place because you, our local residents, told us that road safety and parking around schools are important to you.

"We’ve listened, and we’re taking action.

"By working together, we can help make our roads and communities safer for everyone, particularly our children travelling to and from school."
