In response to highway issues on St Adrians Close during school drop off and pick up a 'school street' was introduced as a trial to address the issues earlier this year.

On a 'school street', most motor vehicles (like cars, vans and lorries) are not allowed to be driven at the start and end of the school day. This makes the area around the school gate much safer for the school children. It also makes it easier for children to walk and cycle to school and reduces their exposure to vehicle fumes.

The trial has been successful, and earlier this year residents and the school community chose with an overwhelming majority to keep the school street as a permanent fixture.

The school street is currently run with volunteer stewards, who manage traffic during school street hours. However, having spoken to our current volunteers as well as the wider resident and parent community, there are not enough people who have the time to volunteer for this to continue beyond the next few months. For the school street to become permanent, we will need to introduce an alternative way of managing the street.

We propose to introduce a traffic camera to enforce the school street, instead of having volunteer stewards. This would be an 'Automatic Number Plate Recognition' (or 'ANPR') camera that records the number plates of vehicles contravening the school street traffic restrictions.

The school street traffic restrictions would only apply at the beginning and end of the school day:

  • Monday to Friday during school term time only
  • 8.30am - 9am and 2.45pm - 3pm

As with the current school street arrangement, there will be certain exemptions, including for residents and Blue Badge holders. More information on how the scheme will work and what exemptions will apply are in the FAQ section of this web page.

The consultation closes on 4th November, 2024.
