Officers recommend most Brent Emergency School Streets to be made permanent

When I attended Kingsbury Green Primary School in the 1950s I cannot remember any of my fellow pupils arriving by car. Now things are very different and with St Robert Southwell Primary now a close neighbour to Kingsbury Green I witnessed some chaotic and bad-tempered scenes with drivers at home time a few years ago when I left the premises after working with pupils in Fryent Country Park.

They are two of the schools involved in the Emergency School Streets schemes introduced partly as a result of the pandemic and the need for social distancing, as well as the overall health benefits of walking to school and reduction in traffic pollution.

In contrast to the Low Traffic Neighbourhood schemes the great majority of School Streets are recommended to be made permanent despite concerns about the impact of Covid related school staff absences impacting on supervision. The decision will be taken by Brent Cabinet on Monday January 17th.

There was consultation in the neighbourhood of the schools as well as with the parent body and detailed reviews published for each scheme.

Officers’ report:

Closing the road outside of a school to vehicles at pick up and drop off times helps make the route safer for pupils, promotes walking and cycling, and cuts the number of polluting cars contributing to local air pollution. It also helps the school community with social distancing as more pupils return to school.

Residents who live within the school street zone, blue-badge holders and emergency vehicles are exempt from restrictions.

An independent review has been conducted of the 30 emergency school streets schemes that have been operation since September 2020 to see if they should become a permanent arrangement or be removed.

Thank you to everyone that responded to the consultation, your feedback will be used in the decision making process. A report will be considered by the Councils Cabinet at the meeting on 17 January 2022.

Very much as with LTN, South Kilburn being a Corporatist Land Colony was also excluded from Brents School Streets programe. We see School Streets working in adjacent Camden instead. "Learn to live with it (Covid)", how if entire Brent neighbourhoods are excluded from mitigation actions?
