School Streets

Our School Streets schemes are roads outside a school with temporary restrictions on  traffic and parking. 

By closing the road directly outside a school, we can help to reduce road danger and improve air quality locally.  Having a designated space for people to use can help to encourage more people to choose to walk, cycle, wheel or scoot for at least part of the school run.
