Sheen Mount Primary School – SS23

A School Street is where a road with a school temporarily closes to vehicular traffic during the school's opening and closing times, to enhance the safety of school children.

There are many benefits of Schools Streets including keeping the area outside the school gates free of congestion, encouraging active travel to school, creating a pleasant and calm atmosphere at the start and end of the school day, reducing idling vehicles and potentially improving air quality, and, of course, improving road safety.

After holding information gathering engagement sessions with parents, carers and residents in order to understand local concerns and preferred actions, we have designed two proposals 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 proposing to introduce a School Street trial at Sheen Mount Primary School and is first seeking your views on the options for this location. 

• Option 1 - School Street on West Temple Sheen and School Safety zone on Christchurch Road near school gates
• Option 2 - School Street on West Temple Sheen and part of Christchurch Road

You can also read frequently asked questions relating to this specific proposal.

School Streets are in response to requests from schools 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.
