Have your say on St Thomas of Canterbury School Street
Surrey County Council is proposing a School Street scheme for Horseshoe Lane West and Surrounding roads, Guildford.
Please share your views on our proposal by 20th March 2026.
Your feedback is important to us. Public engagement gives residents and highways users the opportunity to comment on our proposals. This feedback supports the decision making process and, in some cases, may lead to changes in the design.
If the scheme progresses, a statutory consultation period will follow.
About the project
School Streets prioritise pedestrians and cyclists on roads outside schools by temporarily restricting most motor traffic from entering the roads during pick-up and drop-off times. Parents and carers are asked to either walk, scoot or cycle with their children to school or to park a little further away and walk the last few minutes of their journey.
The main aim of a School Street is to reduce the amount of traffic on streets around a school.
They help tackle congestion and improve air quality at the school gates, making it easier and safer to walk and cycle to school. They create a more pleasant environment for everyone, while making sure residents and business owners located within the street, pedestrians and cyclists can still use the road.
The road will temporarily become a Pedestrian and Cycle Zone at set times in the morning and afternoon. Vehicles are not permitted to enter the 'zone' between these times unless they have been granted an exemption for their vehicles. Signs inform drivers of the restrictions at the entrance of the closed road.
