Safer School Journeys - Anglesey Primary School

Overview

The Safer School Journeys programme is a city-wide initiative designed to make streets around schools safer, healthier and more welcoming for pupils, families and the wider community.

Funded through the Clean Air Zone and aligned with the city’s Road Harm Reduction Strategy, this programme offers dedicated support to help schools identify and address road safety concerns, improve air quality, and encourage more walking, wheeling, and cycling. It also supports the vision for Kids Streets across the West Midlands.

Anglesley Primary School has been selected for improvements as part of this programme.

We are proposing to introduce:

• A relocated zebra crossing to make it easier to see and safer for people walking, wheeling and cycling.
• Tactile paving (the bumpy paving at crossings) to help people with visual impairments cross more easily.
• No waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) to improve visibility and safety.
• Parking and loading bays near the shops to support local businesses and help manage parking.
• Bollards to stop vehicles parking on pavements.
• Clearer signs and coloured road surfacing to make drivers aware they are entering a school area.
• Benches, planters and other street furniture to make the area more attractive and welcoming.
