Statutory Consultation - School Streets 2022

Following the successful implementation of 14 School Streets across the borough Enfield Council are expanding the initiative to more schools and are proposing School Streets at the following locations and times:

Please refer to the maps for the proposed design for each of the School Streets listed above, along with the proposed traffic order. Both can be found in the Document Library.

A ‘School Street’ is an area transformed into a pedestrian and cycling zone operating Monday to Friday during the school term, during set times at drop-off and pick-up times. School Streets aim to:

• ensure the safety of school students as they arrive to and leave school,
• improve the air quality near the school, and
• encourage more young people to walk and cycle to school.

When the School Street zone is in operation during the designated hours, motor vehicles cannot pass through the zone, except for those who have received a permit and are exempt. Those who are eligible for exemptions include:

• residents who live within the zone,
• Blue Badge holders requiring access to the school (for example parents who hold a Blue Badge for a pupil),
• school staff who have been provided a permit by the school administration under exceptional circumstances,
• businesses who operate within the zone, and
• emergency services.

Further information on School Streets and how they operate can be found at https://letstalk.enfield.gov.uk/schoolstreets.
