Our Safer School Streets initiative starts on Monday 11 March. Please note that the safe “drop off” point is at the shops. You can safely escort your child to school from the drop-off point. The aim of the initiative is to encourage walking, cycling or scooting to and from school.
Extract
“A School Street involves a part time restriction on driving motor vehicles on roads around a school. During the restricted periods (weekdays from 8.40am -9.05am and 2.40pm – 3.10pm) only permit holders, blue badge holders, school transport vehicles (including contracted taxis) and exempted vehicles can drive on these roads.
We ultimately want to increase the safety of all road users and promote the use of active modes of travel to school, such as walking, cycling or scooting and hope therefore that you will be supportive of our aim to dramatically reduce the amount of vehicular traffic on the roads around your child’s school during these times.”
