We recognise not all residents will have access to the internet to make their applications, therefore Surrey County Council officers will be at the school on these dates to offer support and advice over the application process. 

Please note that these sessions are intended solely to provide practical support and guidance for completing exemption/permit applications. Officers will not be available to discuss or debate the merits or viability of the School Street Scheme. The decision to proceed has already been agreed by your County Councillor, and the scheme will go live on 11 May 2026.

NOT eligible for an exemption

• Friends and family of residents of the School Street

We cannot allow for an exemption for friends and family wishing to visit residents within the School Street zone because the aim is to reduce traffic on the road.

This includes all delivery companies including supermarket deliveries but does not include Royal Mail postal services. We cannot allow for an exemption for ad hoc deliveries because the aim is to reduce traffic on the road. Instead, we suggest that where it is possible to do so, deliveries are arranged for times outside of the School Street operating times.

• Mobile Businesses

This includes (but is not limited to) dog walkers, pet grooming services, mobile hairdressers and beauticians. We cannot allow for an exemption for mobile businesses wishing to visit properties within the School Street zone because the aim is to reduce traffic on the road. Instead, we suggest that arrangements are made for these businesses to visit outside of the School Street operating times, or to park outside of the School Street zone and walk the rest of the way.
