School Streets Scheme

We're proposing 9 new School Streets across Medway.

This will make the roads outside schools safer at pick-up and drop-off times, and encourage families to walk, wheel or cycle to school.

Have your say

We believe that community input and engagement is vital to the success of School Streets, which is why we asked for your feedback. 

Our online survey ran from Monday 16 September to Sunday 27 October 2024.

What happens next

We'll review all feedback. This feedback will help shape the proposals and our future plans, which will then be considered by Medway's Cabinet later in the year.  

If approved, we plan to start implementing these School Streets in 2025.

We'll also be working with New Horizons Children’s Academy, Holcombe Grammar School and the local community to co-design another School Street proposal. This will go to public consultation at a later date.

We will share further updates as we progress.
