Help Marsh Green Primary School children get to school safely

3 May 2023: Please refer to the latest update below


Marsh Green 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 that North Close and South Close, both 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 (where the staff car park is within the school street zone), can apply for an exemption free of charge. Residents’ parking will be unaffected.

Tell us what you think

  • You can hear what parents and residents at other local School Streets say about their existing School Streets.
  • Respond to our survey and share your views.
  • Check out the interactive map below to view the proposal.
  • Take a look at our commonly asked questions and, if you don't see the information you are looking for, post your question below on the 'questions' tab, and we will respond to you as soon as possible.
