Overview
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. We do this through School Streets (pedestrian and cycle only zones)

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. We do this through School Streets (pedestrian and cycle only zones)
School Streets are timed road restrictions around schools with the aim of creating 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.
In summer 2023 we asked for your views on a proposal to introduce a temporary School Street around Childs Hill School. We considered all the feedback and decided to proceed with the School Street scheme. The scheme came into effect in April 2024.
Now that the Childs Hill Primary School Street is live, we are keen to hear your thoughts and experiences on the School Street.
School Streets are delivered under 18-month Experimental Traffic Orders (ETOs). During this period we will decide to either:
1. Make the scheme permanent with no changes
2. Make changes (to time or location), or
3. Remove the scheme.
This decision is made with your feedback paired alongside additional traffic, speed and parking surveys.
How to have your say
We are keen to hear your views on this School Street scheme. Please take the time to give us your views by completing the online questionnaire below.
Alternative formats of the engagement
If you are unable to complete the questionnaire online and would like to request a paper copy or another format of the questionnaire, please email HighwaysCorrespondence@barnet.gov.uk.
Any paper copies should be sent to the Traffic and Development Section, London Borough of Barnet, 3rd Floor, Highways, 2 Bristol Avenue, Colindale, London, NW9 4EW, quoting reference number HAS002-01.
What happens after the consultation closes?
Before the School Streets temporary traffic order finishes after 18-months, a decision will be made as to:
1. Make the scheme permanent with no changes
2. Make changes (to time or location), or
3. Remove the scheme.
Once we have made a decision, we will write to local residents, business and schools in the affected areas to advise them of the decision. We will also publish the outcome on this page.
