School Street permit

What are School Streets?

A School Street is where a road with a school temporarily closes to motor vehicles to become a pedestrian and cycle zone around the school’s opening and closing times.  

By temporarily closing roads outside schools there will be a reduction in congestion and pollution at the school gates. This will also make it easier and safer for children to get to and from school.  

The council is implementing a number of School Street Schemes under an experimental traffic order and monitoring the benefits over an 18-month period.  

During this 18-month period residents will be contacted again, to ask for their views on whether the scheme works effectively, before we take a decision on whether to make it permanent or not.
