Help Richard Alibon School pupils get to school safely
Located on the busy and narrow Alibon Road, Richard Alibon Primary has issues with heavy traffic and dangerous parking at peak times.
To tackle these issues and improve safety around the school gates, we are proposing that from May, parts of Alibon Road becomes a School Street at pick up and drop off times. Nearby Hunters Hall Primary will also benefit from this School Street, to ensure traffic calming and safer roads benefit the wider area.
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.
The parts of the Alibon Road that affected are:
- between the junctions of Sterry Road and Hunters Hall Road,
- between Croppath Road and Hunters Hall Road, and
- Between Hunters Hall Road and Wantz Road (the Hunters all School Street).
You can see the plan here. You will still be able to travel north to south along Hunters Hall Road and Croppath Road without entering the School Street Zone.
You can see a map of where the restrictions will apply here.
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.
To ensure children, parents and residents enjoy the benefits of safer, more pleasant roads in the surrounding areas, further School Streets are being proposed around nearby Hunters Hall Primary.
