Please see below for information from Kerr Chalmers, Traffic and Road Safety Manager for Ayrshire Roads Alliance.
‘We received 94 comments from our initial consultation on proposals for temporary measures to improve physical distancing at or near school entrances at eight schools in East Ayrshire.
A School Street is a road which is closed to all vehicular traffic at school start and finish times. The restriction would not apply to permit holders or blue badge holders, and residents of the street would be contacted directly and issued with free permits as the schemes are developed. The trials will be monitored and if schemes prove to be successful then we would like then to consider introducing permanent schemes.
We are now asking for feedback on the four schools where the initial trials of the proposals are planned to be undertaken. The schools are:
- Auchinleck Primary School and Early Childhood Centre
- Catrine Primary School
- Crosshouse Primary School and Early Childhood Centre
- St Sophia’s Primary School
We have prepared Plans, FAQs and Benefits of School Streets information pack – we hope these will answer many of the general queries raised about School Streets projects.
We are keen to receive as much feedback on our proposals as possible. I would be grateful therefore if you could share these links as widely as possible and encourage people to complete the online survey. I am issuing a similar email to the Parent Council Chairs at the four schools.’
Please click on the highlighted link above for further information and a chance to comment on their proposals. Thank you.
