School Streets (Phase 5) - Improvements

Overview

A School Street is a road outside a school where most vehicles are not allowed during school drop-off and pick-up times. This helps reduce traffic and creates a safer, more pleasant environment for pupils, families and local residents.

The following three School Streets have been in place since April 2025:

• Cotteridge Primary School
• The Oval School
• Whitehouse Common Primary School

These School Streets were introduced and trialled under an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (the legal document required to make temporary changes to the road). We now intend to make these School Streets permanent.

We would like to hear from people about their experiences of these School Streets, and any improvements they would like to see.

Your feedback will help us understand local issues and identify opportunities to make journeys to and from school safer, healthier and more welcoming for everyone.
