School Streets Pilot
We Asked
We worked with six local schools to pilot a 'School Streets' scheme aiming to help make the school run safer, healthier and happier for children, families and the wider community. We asked for your opinions about whether the School Streets scheme should be made permanent at each of the pilot schools.
You Said
126 people engaged in the survey, and across the schools most participants supported the scheme (75.4%) and would like to see the scheme made permanent (77.%).
We Did
The ideas and comments shared help the council to decide whether the scheme was working for the school and the local community and would achieve the goals to make the school run safer, healthier and happier. Based on the results the School Street is a permanent feature at the following schools:
- Greenleas Primary School, Wallasey
- Liscard Primary School, Liscard
- Christ Church CE School, Birkenhead
- St Albans Primary School, Wallasey
- St George's Primary School, Wallasey
- Raeburn Primary School, Bromborough
The scheme is delivered through an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) for a trial period of up to 18 months.
A dedicated Active Travel Officer will help introduce and support the School Streets schools through education activities. Road signs have been introduced to show where the School Street zones are and to tell motorists of the hours of operation.
