What are School Streets?
A School Street is a road outside a school where traffic is limited at drop-off and pick-up times.
The aim is to:
- reduce traffic and unsafe parking
- improve air quality
- make it safer to walk, wheel and cycle
How the new system will work
ANPR cameras will check vehicles entering during restricted times.
- If a vehicle is allowed, it can enter
- If not, the owner may get a fine (PCN)
At Our Lady’s RC Primary School, the boundary will also be clearer.
Warning period
There will be a 6-month warning period.
During this time:
- first offence → warning letter
- repeat offences → fine
After 6 months:
- all offences may lead to a fine
Volunteers
Volunteers have helped make School Streets work. We value their support.

How money from fines is used
The aim is safety, not income.
Any money from fines can only be used for:
- road improvements
- public transport
- environmental projects
Signs and maps
You will see clear signs at each School Street.
Maps will show:
- where restrictions apply
- when they apply
What happens next
After the consultation:
- we will review all feedback
- we will share the results
- we will confirm next steps
We want to hear from you before 6 September 2026.
