Parking issues are persisting outside a primary school near Ipswich.
Parking outside Nacton Primary School has been an issue for many months, with Suffolk police previously contacting the school over parking concerns.
The school has been sending out regular reminders to parents regarding parking, with issues made more difficult due to there being no car park at the site.
Recently, Suffolk Coastal MP Jenny Riddell-Carpenter brought the issue of road safety outside schools in parliament.

She said: "Road Safety outside schools in Suffolk Coastal is a key priority of mine, and I will continue to push the county council to consider concerns with the seriousness they deserve.
"I have reached out to Nacton Primary School to offer my support in improving safety outside their school."
The Labour MP has been a big advocate for making schools safer, with previous success at Bucklesham Primary School in reducing the speed limit near the school.

She has also previously invited ten-year-old Roman Osborne from Trimley St Martin to Downing Street after he was involved in a collision with a van outside the primary school, prompting him to send a letter to improve safety outside the school.
Parking issues outside Nacton Primary School have been ongoing for months, with Suffolk Highways saying back in June that they were aware of the concerns raised by the headteacher at the school and parents regarding parking and they were "looking into suitable options to alleviate the problem".
With no car park, staff are also having to park outside the school, which increases issues, particularly at drop off and pick up times.
