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.
