Wandsworth School Streets - Bolingbroke Academy

Overview

Following previous engagement with the school, a School Street is being proposed outside Bolingbroke Academy and we would like to hear your views.

We are proposing to extend the existing scheme serving Belleville Primary, between Northcote Road and Webb’s Road, to include the length of Belleville Road between Northcote Road and Bolingbroke Grove. The proposal has been developed in partnership with both schools and the proposed operational hours are Monday to Friday 8.20 to 9.10 and 15.00 to 16.00, term time only.

Drop in session

We have organised a drop in session where you can ask officers questions and share your views about this proposed School Street.

• Location: Bolingbroke Academy, Wakehurst Rd, London SW11 6BF 
• Date and time: Tuesday 18th March 2025 between 16.00 to 19.30

Details of the School Street can be seen below.

Please note that the details of the scheme as described above may be amended as the council responds to feedback or in order to improve the effectiveness of the scheme. In the event that the scheme is amended, this Overview page will be edited to describe the change made. Your feedback will be viewed in the context of the scheme described at the time of your submission.

What is a School Street?

A School Street is where a road or section of a road near a school temporarily closes to motor traffic to become a pedestrian and cycle zone at the start and end of the school day.

There are many benefits of Schools Streets including keeping the area outside the school gates free of congestion, reducing idling vehicles and improving air quality, encouraging active travel to school, creating a pleasant and calm atmosphere at the start and end of the school day and, of course, improving road safety.

Whilst everyone is encouraged to avoid driving in a School Street during the restricted times, certain vehicles (including those of residents in the School Street) are exempt from the restrictions.  You can find out more here.

Since June 2020, the Council has introduced 29 School Streets schemes benefiting 31 schools. Further information about the programme can be viewed on the School Street pages of our website here.  

All feedback collected during the consultation and engagement will be analysed and reviewed, and if supported, we would implement the proposed School Street in Spring 2025 using an Experimental Traffic Order.
