Have your say on Riverbridge Primary/Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School Street
Have your say on our proposal to install a School Street on Park Avenue, Staines. We want to create a safer, healthier, and more pleasant environment for everyone.
Other benefits of School Streets are: less traffic, cleaner air, and the removal of inconsiderate and illegal parking, resulting in a safer, healthier, and more pleasant environment for everyone.
The consultation period is now closed
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.
Park and Stride
Parents and carers are asked to either walk, wheel or cycle with their children to school. Where families are unable to do this, they will need to park outside of the proposed School Street zone and walk the last few minutes of the journey to or from school, or “park and stride” as it is sometimes known.
Spelthorne Borough Council have reaffirmed their position that the Eclipse Leisure Centre car park is not available for parents to use during their drop-off and pick-up times and should be for the use of leisure centre visitors only. Surrey County Council officers have suggested that once the Eclipse Leisure Centre car park construction is completed and fully open in the Autumn, it will be possible to assess how full it is.
