St Richard Reynolds Catholic College - SS4
The School Street is set up in two parts - an outer perimeter and an inner ANPR camera enforced core.
The drawing linked at the bottom of this page shows the two areas in blue (outer perimeter) and grey (inner ANPR area). Both have been made permanent with Traffic Management Orders and are no longer proposals as the drawing suggests.
Outer perimeter
The outer perimeter was also approved at the September Transport and Air Quality committee, and this is enforced by signs only. This includes Sherland Road, Lion Road (Edwin Road to Grove Avenue), Lion Avenue, Laurel Avenue, Lansdowne Close, Albert Road, Prado Path and Grove Avenue. This is to reduce the cars attempting to cut through only to be stopped at Grove Avenue and Sherland Road when they reach the ANPR signage.
Residents and businesses located in this outer perimeter are not eligible for exemption to enter the inner ANPR enforced core, and neither are their visitors. Drivers not eligible for exemption into the inner core, as explained below, may not travel through this area. The proposed outer perimeter is signed as shown in the top image alongside.
Inner area
The inner area includes Clifden Road from a point set back from the junction with Heath Road to junction with Station Road, Copthall Gardens from junction with Holly Road to junction with Clifden Road, Station Road/Staten Gardens/Lion Rd from junction with Sherland Road to junction with Grove Avenue and Tudor Gardens.
Only residents and businesses located within this inner core area and their visitors are eligible to apply for exemption to enter the ANPR restricted area if they meet the exemptions criteria below. This core area is currently enforced by ANPR and is signed as shown in the bottom image alongside.
Hours of operation
The ANPR enforced inner core and signage only outer perimeter is in operation Monday to Friday from 7.45 to 9.15am and 2 to 3.30pm, during term time only.

The School Street signs will still be displayed during school holidays and half term breaks. It is not a statutory requirement to remove them.
Method
Signs will warn drivers of the days and times when the School Street is enforced and ANPR cameras enforce the restrictions for the inner core.
