I rang my local council this afternoon about just this subject and what I was told was a little shocking, but great news. "Restrictions on parking across a dropped kerb are only enforceable if you are blocking a vehicles exit from the space served by the dropped kerb. They are not enforceable when blocking access to the parking space"

Your story almosrt mirrors exactly ours. My son was in mainstream school and had the same problems, ironically he was in a school that had achieved 'Beacon Status' as a centre of learning for 'Special Needs'. In the end, and it was tough, we had to take him out of the state school system and get him into a private school. It wasnt until then that he was diagnosed with ADHD. Smaller classes, the understanding of really good teaching staff, and a slow release ritalin substitute did the job. He is just taking hiss GCSE's and has been predicted to acheve A's and B's. He is a Prefect, he has also been accepted for training for the Merchant Navy as an Office Cadet. The finanacial cost has been massive, especially having been made redundant and being declared bankrupt. I had great support from the Official Receiver who allowed him to stay at the school and for me to continue to pay the fees. It was the best thing we ever did. If you are in a position financially it is someting I would seriously advise you to consider.
