Sharing your thoughts on the scheme
The South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee approved this trial School Street schemes in September 2022, subject to engagement with the local community. The scheme is set up as an ‘Experimental Traffic Management Order’, and these can be in place for a minimum of 6 months and up to 18 months, whilst we gather local feedback.The Experimental Traffic Management Order consultation started on 4 September 2023 and closed 3 March 2024 and the feedback received will be used to review the scheme.
