Below is a list of all our consultations. Some maybe ongoing, and some may have ended. The Traffic & Road Safety department want to hear your views and will enter details of their plans, background information and how to have your say.
What is a School Street?
School Streets transform roads to create a better environment for children to walk, cycle and wheel to school.
When a School Street is in operation, the road temporarily becomes a Pedestrian and Cycle Zone, at school drop-off and pick-up times. By temporarily closing the road to motor vehicles at the start and end of the school day, School Streets help by:
Reducing traffic outside the school, which reduces emissions and makes the air around the school cleaner at peak times for children
Making it safer to walk, cycle, scoot, and wheel to school. Children will benefit from increased physical activity on their journey to and from school
Reducing traffic congestion and parking problems outside the school and reducing road danger
We are currently consulting residents about new traffic enforcement powers.
Last year the government announced that local authorities in England could apply to get new powers to enforce moving traffic offences under Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.
We would like to apply to the Secretary of State for these new powers. It will mean we will be able to enforce moving traffic contraventions.
