After holding information gathering engagement sessions with parents, carers and residents to understand local concerns and preferred actions, we are developing three proposal choices that we are taking to consultation. These address the main concerns raised at the engagement events and via other forms of communication. We are therefore seeking your views on the various options for this location, as detailed and explained below.

These are the three options, which links to the maps:

  • Option 1 - Low intervention: A School Safety Zone along Fairfax Rd and Cromwell Rd outside the school gates. Also, a review of Kingston Lane pedestrian safety and consideration of a crossing
  • Option 2 - Medium intervention: A trial School Street on Fairfax Rd from Cromwell Rd to Harlequin Rd - potentially CCTV/ANPR enforced - as well as School Safety Zone measures along Cromwell Road. Also, a review of Kingston Lane pedestrian safety and consideration of a crossing
  • Option 3 - High intervention: 2x trial School Streets which includes both Fairfax Rd (from Cromwell Rd to Harlequin Rd) and Cromwell Rd (from Udney Park Rd to Kingston Ln) - potentially CCTV/ANPR enforced. Also, a review of Kingston Lane pedestrian safety and consideration of a crossing

More information about these options is available in the frequently asked questions relating to this specific proposal.

School Streets are in response to requests from schools, parents and residents along with the success of the 15 existing School Streets that are permanent in the borough.

If you have a question about the School Streets scheme generally, you may find the answer in our School Streets FAQs.

Consultation session and survey

The pre-trial consultation opened on 23 May and closes 30 June.

We encourage you to come to our engagement sessions:

  • Pop-up at school gates – Tuesday 4 June from 3 to 4pm
  • Drop-in at the Coliseum school hall – Tuesday 4 June at any time between 4.45 and 7pm

We’d love to hear your views. Complete our pre-trial consultation survey or email us with your comments and questions.

Hours of operation

The proposed hours of operation for the School Street element of the options are Monday to Friday 8.10 to 9am and 2.50 to 3.40pm, term time only. The consultation gives an opportunity to comment on the proposed operational hours.

Method

It is envisaged that CCTV/ANPR camera enforcement is likely to be used for any approved School Street at this location. See our exemption webpage for more information.
