Statutory Consultation - Highworth Road (Bowes Primary)

In conjunction with the ongoing implementation of the School Street for Bowes Primary School, the council is proposing to add greening and access improvements around the school entrance to compliment and enhance the project.

The proposed interventions aim to deliver the following:

• New green areas (rain gardens) outside Bowes Primary School on Highworth Road
• Improved and safer access to Bowes Primary School.

The proposals feature:

• An extension of the main entrance space and the establishment of rain gardens on each side of the Bowes Primary School main entrance on Highworth Road.
• Implementation of a raised pedestrian crossing at the Bowes Primary School main entrance to increase the visibility and safety of people crossing the road.

The proposal will require changes to waiting, loading and parking restrictions outside the Bowes Primary School entrance on Highworth Road.
