Our School Streets programme
Why is the School Streets programme important?
The scheme aims to:
- tackle congestion
- improve air quality at the school gates
- make it easier and safer to walk and cycle to school
- create a friendlier and calmer environment for everyone
How does it work?
- the street directly outside a school will have measures introduced to significantly reduce the volume of traffic when children arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon
- the street will become a pedestrian and cycle zone at these set times
- motorised vehicles will not be allowed to enter the street between these times unless they have been granted an exemption - these will be kept to an absolute minimum to improve road safety for everyone near the school gates
- the School Streets programme will be in operation in term time only.
Where are the School Street closures in place?
There are currently 47 School Streets in our borough, outside 41 local schools - with more planned in the new school year.
Camera-enforced restrictions are in place at 33 school locations - some of the camera-enforced restrictions affect more than one road around the school.
