Road Safety around Schools – St Peter's Catholic / Moorfield Primary Schools

Overview

The Council’s overall strategic transport ambition is to increase the number of children walking or cycling to school to reduce congestion on roads, improve local air quality, and improve health outcomes.

In order for this to be achieved, it is important that walking or cycling to school is a safe option for children and their families.  To support this ambition, the Feasibility and Road Safety Team have been working to tackle key concerns which have been raised by schools and ward councillors.

To reduce the impact of inconsiderate parking and to highlight to passing vehicles there are likely to be children in the area, the following improvements have been identified surrounding St Peter's Catholic / Moorfield Primary Schools:
