School Streets

Many schools across the city experience a number of traffic related issues at the beginning and end of each school day.  We have introduced the 'School Streets' pilot project which aims to address such issues by limiting traffic in the streets surrounding schools at key times, creating a predominantly car free zone.

We are aiming to create a safer, more pleasant environment for everyone around schools. The scheme will promote active travel to school by walking and cycling, which in turn, will help to reduce congestion and pollution in the area.
