There are many things in this world that we just can't explain no matter how hard we try, £30 million for Dimitar Berbatov being a prime example. On my return to St Brendan's Sixth Form after a two week break I am left baffled once again.
A day doesn't go by without someone complaining about the lack of student parking within college and it is a point that has been brought to St Brendan's attention on numerous occasions. Despite all this, our college has decided to reduce student parking. That's right. REDUCE student parking. This has left me and many other students perplexed and annoyed by this decision.
If there isn't any possible room to fit in additional student parking within the college then that's fine. You can't allocate space if it isn't there. But to reduce student parking seems like a slap in the face to all the students who now have to either find a space around the industrial estate or to risk a £50 fine from McDonalds (I chose the latter, and received the expected punishment).
On top of all this, the repainted bays within the downsized parking in college are far too small. Unless you are willing to climb out of your boot or sun roof, you have no chance of leaving your car.
I have asked the college to explain their decision but I have received no answers as of yet. Apparently students should be seen and not heard.

I think that you will find that the Bristol City Council restricts the parking on the St Brendan's site and that the agenda is to encourage students not to drive but be more environmentally aware.
