The Hyde School Street

We want our streets to be safe spaces for you to walk and cycle, for children to get to and from school safely and healthily, for businesses to be able to prosper, and for you to be breathing cleaner air. A priority area for making our streets safer and cleaner are the roads around our schools. 

The aim of the schemes are to create a safer environment for pupils to walk and cycle to school and to deal with the high traffic volumes around schools at certain times of the day. The schemes also help to prevent potential conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, crowding from pupils and parents outside school gates, as well as preventing the potential of young children being forced onto the roads with traffic.

School Street scheme proposals for The Hyde School  

This year The Hyde School was identified as a school that would benefit from being included as one of the experimental School Street schemes. We are now engaging on the scheme to find out how residents, and other key stakeholders, would feel about implementing a temporary school street in this area.

The School Street Schemes are looking to be delivered under experimental traffic orders for up to 18 months. During this time there will be an opportunity to feedback comments regarding the experimental order. There will be a review within the 18 months to see if the schemes will be retained, altered or removed.

We have written to properties within the affected area inviting them to complete a questionnaire. You can view the letter sent out here.

The findings for the scheme will help us determine if the scheme should be implemented, and if so what actions need to be taken to address any areas of concern. Once a decision has been made, we will write to local residents, business and schools in the affected areas to advise of them of the implementation of the School Street under an experimental order.
