Prendergast Ladywell School

The roads close to schools often have periods of the day that are busy with school traffic, causing road safety concerns for pedestrians and cyclists, congestion, and poor air quality for all.

The primary objective of this programme is to create a safer environment for travel to school on foot and by bicycle, by implementing vehicle restrictions at school drop off and pick up times. School Streets also have many additional benefits such as improving the air quality at the school gates, encouraging daily routines that incorporate exercise and helping to reduce the impact of the school run for those that live in the immediate vicinity of the school gates.

How will a School Street affect you?

The plan below shows the proposals for Prendergast Ladywell School, including the times of operation and area of the School Street boundary.

Ewhurst Road will be restricted to vehicles without an exemption at the junction of Manwood Road, at the times shown on the signs on school days during term time only. The closure point will be supported by signage advising the times of the closure, and advanced warning signage will also be in place.

Residents will be able to enter and leave the road but it would be preferable if movement was limited during the times of the closure. Access for Emergency Services vehicles will not be affected by the closure. Further details of the proposed plan can be found her e.
