Help Valence Primary School children to get to school safely

Valence Primary School has issues with congestion at pick up and drop off times, particularly due to its close proximity to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School.

To reduce danger to the pupils and relieve congestion outside the school gates, we are proposing that St George's Road, between the junctions of Beverley Road and Westfield Road, becomes a School Street 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.
