Help Valence (Bonham) Primary School get children to school safely
Valence Primary School has issues with congestion at pick up and drop off times.
To reduce danger to the pupils and relieve congestion outside the school gates, we are proposing Bonham Road, between Becontree Avenue and Valence Wood Road; Henshawe Road and Margery Road, become School Streets at pick up and drop-off times.
This will create a pedestrian and cycle-only area in front of the school gate between the hours of 8am - 9:15am, and 2.45pm - 4pm during term time. This will alleviate congestion and parking problems for residents and create a safer environment for children and parents to travel to school.
Emergency vehicles will be exempt. Residents and businesses within the school street zone, carers and blue badge holders who require access to the school street, as well as school staff, can apply for an exemption free of charge. Residents’ parking will be unaffected.
Tell us what you think
From Monday 6 May until Sunday 2 June 2024 we will be asking you to share your views via our online survey.
Check back here to view our interactive map and the proposal.
You can get insight from parents and residents in neighbouring school streets and learn more about their experiences.
