How it works

Signs notify drivers of the School Street 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 may also enforce the restrictions in future.

Exemptions

During the operating times people walking, scooting, using wheelchairs, mobility scooters and cycles (including adapted cycles) will be 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

Following positive consultation and engagement with residents and the school, the School Street scheme was trialled under an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO) from 28 March 2022.

The results of the data monitored during the trial and the consultation feedback was reported to the January 2023 Transport and Air Quality committee (Item 30). The committee approved the recommendation to make the School Street permanent under a Traffic Management Order and this is currently being processed for 8 May 2023.

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.
