NEW road safety measures outside some schools in Andover could see parents given on-the-spot £60 fines if they drop off their children in the wrong places near schools at certain times of day.
A number of schools are to have zig-zag lines drawn on the roadside designating 'no stopping areas' in strategic places and those who ignore them will receive instant fixed penalty tickets.
The new restrictions will be the first of their kind in the Andover area and will be enforced by Test Valley Borough Council's team of parking attendants rather than police officers who would have been responsible previously.
Schools that will benefit are Wolverdene School (Love Lane), Portway School (Ashfield Road), St John the Baptist School and John Hanson School (Floral Way), Balksbury School (Floral Way), Vigo schools (Vigo Road) and Knights Enham (King Arthur's Way).
