St James Catholic Primary School – SS20

The trial School Street operates along Stanley Road from the junction with South Road into the one-way.

Current status

The results of the pre-trial consultation have been considered and discussed with local ward councillors who were supportive of a School Street trial. This will include an ANPR camera enforced School Street on Stanley Road. Residents and the school community have been informed that the trial will launch on Monday 3 March 2025 and the consultation reopens simultaneously for six months.

Hours of operation

Following feedback received the hours of operation are suggested to be Monday to Friday 8 to 9am and 2 to 4pm, during term time only. These can be reviewed during the trial process.

How it works

School Street signs and advanced warning signs notify drivers of the School Street and its operating times.

The School Street signs will still be displayed during school holidays and half term breaks. It is not a statutory requirement to remove, cover or close them.

Shared ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras are proposed to enforce the restrictions once installed and signs will indicate that.

Exemptions

During the operating times people walking, scooting, using wheelchairs, mobility scooters and cycles (including adapted cycles) are able to enter the School Street.

Motor vehicles are prohibited during the operating times, subject to a limited number of exemptions. Find out more about School Streets exemptions.

Next steps

We will continue to endeavour to make School Streets more visible in the borough whilst still using the regulation DfT signs as is necessary to make them enforceable.
