School Streets Scheme

We're committed to making the streets outside our schools safer and healthier for our children. To help us do this, we have introduced School Streets across Medway.

A School Street is a road outside a school that has temporary vehicle restrictions at drop-off and pick-up times during the school term. The road becomes a pedestrian and cycle only area during these times.

The restrictions are not in place during:

• school holidays
• weekends
• teacher training days.

School Streets reduce the number of vehicles outside our school gates to:

• reduce congestion
• reduce parking problems for residents
• improve air quality
• create a safer environment for children and parents to travel to school.

We have successfully secured £486k from the government’s Active Travel Fund to support this scheme.
