We asked for your views on implementing a School Street outside Woodridge Primary School

The School Street Schemes are looking to be delivered under experimental traffic orders for up to 18 months. During this time there will be an opportunity to feedback comments regarding the experimental order. There will be a review within the 18 months to see if the schemes will be retained, altered or removed. 

Key elements of the School Street scheme proposals are:

• the proposals would see Southover (from the junction with Arlington) closed to general traffic during school drop off and pick up times, 8.15-9.15am and 2.45-3.45pm, Monday to Friday, term time only. 
• during these hours this section of road will become a Pedestrian and Cycle Zone. The timed closure will be enforced with the use of ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras. 
• only residents, local businesses located within the School Street, blue badge holders requiring access within the School Street, permanent school staff, Hackney Carriages and emergency vehicles will be allowed vehicular access on the School Street during the prescribed times.
