RE: School Street Launch - January 2022

Scheme Overview
The trial will come into operation on 12th January 2022 accompanied by signage. It will last for up to 18 months and the scheme will be monitored to understand the changing traffic and travel patterns that may occur.
Experimental School Streets are part of The Active Streets Programme described above and provides Pedestrian and Cycle Zones (Section 6, Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984) outside a school’s main entrance; in operation in the morning and afternoon during school drop-off and collection times, Monday to Friday during term-time.
This will mean that cars will not be able to pass between Carlton Hill and Marlborough Place between the hours of 8:30am and 9:30am and 2:45pm and 3:45pm.
Each trial school street will be assessed for permanent feasibility on a location-by-location basis. After six months of continual monitoring, the trial will be reviewed by the Cabinet Member for City Management.
