The proposed operational hours for this School Street are Monday to Friday 8.00 to 9.00 and 14.45 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.

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.

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 30 School Streets schemes benefiting 32 schools. Further information about the programme can be viewed on the School Street pages of our website here.  

All feedback will be analysed and reviewed, along with other considerations, and if supported, the Council would plan to implement the proposed School Street (or a variation of it) as a 6-month trial in Spring/Summer 2026. There would be further opportunities for you to provide feedback on the scheme during any trial.
