WYONG school community is concerned about parking around the school.

Parents complain that there are not enough car parking spaces to park in.

 

"There needs to be more parking spaces now, but most schools were built long ago when most people walked to school," one parent who drives children to school said.

 

But another parent, Tracey Cottle, who picks up her child daily, disagrees, saying that the parking is not too bad.

 

Making the problem worse are bus zones taking up a great deal of space.

 

A lot of bus zones are big enough for three or four buses, but most bus zones around the school are only used by two buses at a time.

 

Some parents feel the bus zones could be reduced to make more car parking space.
