Green light for Hunters Hall School Street

Councillors have agreed to proceed with the School Streets in your area.

At a meeting of the Cabinet on 16 November, the councillors decided to introduce the School Streets – which aim to reduce road danger for children travelling to and from school - for a 12 month trial period.

During term time only, number plate recognition cameras will be used to restrict unauthorised motor vehicles outside the school gates during the morning drop off and afternoon and pick up period.

The councillors noted that the consultation with parents and local residents was positive.

As a result of their decision we expect the School Street at Hunters Hall to be introduced by March 2022.

Please note that this date is approximate only and may be subject to change.

Until then you need do nothing. We will not enforce the School Streets until the implementation dates. You may see the number plate recognition cameras and signage being installed in advance, but we will be sure to give plenty of notice to everyone before we begin enforcement.

We will write to everyone with full details in advance and we will advise you when you can apply for an exemption.

Thank you again to all the staff, local residents and parents who gave us their feedback.
