New School Streets for Medway
We are implementing new School Streets across Medway following statutory consultation.
We're committed to making the streets outside our schools safer and healthier for our children. To help us do this, we have introduced School Streets across Medway.
A School Street is a road outside a school that has temporary vehicle restrictions at drop-off and pick-up times during the school term. The road becomes a pedestrian and cycle only area during these times. View school term dates.
The restrictions are not in place during:
- school holidays
- weekends
- teacher training days.
School Streets reduce the number of vehicles outside our school gates to:
- reduce congestion
- reduce parking problems for residents
- improve air quality
- create a safer environment for children and parents to travel to school.
We have successfully secured £486k from the government’s Active Travel Fund to support this scheme.
