Forty drivers have been given words of advice as part of a clampdown on rogue parking outside a North Walsham school.
Illegal and inconsiderate parking outside North Walsham Junior and Infant School was made a priority for the Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) in March.
As a result increased high-visibility patrols have been carried out, with dozens of drivers given words of advice.
The figures were revealed during the North Walsham SNT priority setting meeting held on Wednesday, April 28.
The team gave an update on their progress with other priorities, including anti-social behaviour by youths around North Walsham.
Officers said they had requested CCTV footage from a supermarket in the town where some of the anti-social behaviour had occurred and inquires were continuing.
