New School Streets
In July 2025, we advised we'll be implementing new School Streets to help:
- reduce congestion
- make the roads outside schools safer at pick-up and drop-off times
- encourage families to walk, wheel or cycle to school.

Date to be decided
We are still considering the date to implement a School Street zone around the St William of Perth Roman Catholic Primary School in Rochester.
St William of Perth Roman Catholic Primary School, Rochester
- Street: Canon Close.
- Operational times: 8am to 9am, and 3pm to 4pm.
To support this School Street, we'll implement additional safety measures along Maidstone Road.
Feedback from the statutory consultation suggested that operating times should be from 2.30pm to 3.30pm in the afternoon. To accommodate this, we'll be updating the Traffic Regulation Order before the School Street is implemented.
More information about the St William of Perth Roman Catholic Primary School - School Street Plan will be published soon.
Proposed location still being considered
We're still considering comments for The King’s Pre-Preparatory School and Nursery in Rochester and have not decided if a School Street will be implemented yet.
We'll update this page once we have made a decision.
The King’s Pre-Preparatory School and Nursery, Rochester
- Streets: Lockington Grove, King Edwards Road, and St Margaret’s Street.
- Operational times: 8am to 9am and 3.45pm to 4.45pm.
We're proposing to:
- extend the School Street further along St Margaret's Street
- introduce a one-way street along Roebuck Road
- extend the existing one-way street along St Margaret's Street.

What this means for you
Enforcement of School Streets will begin on the operational dates.
Any vehicles that enter a School Street without an exemption during operating times, may receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
If you're eligible, you can apply for an exemption, which will allow you to drive and park within a School Street location during operating times.
