Safer School Journeys - Harborne Primary School (annex)

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.

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

We are proposing to introduce:

• No waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) along a section of Court Oak Road
• Junction narrowing at Wood Lane/Fellows Lane and Earls Court Road to slow vehicles and make it easier and safer for people to cross the road
• A new crossing point on Court Oak Road with a pedestrian refuge island
• Continuous pavement across the school entrance
• A re-located westbound bus stop away from the school entrance
• Coloured road surfacing, to make drivers aware they are entering an area with a school
• Planters, seating and cycle parking to improve the look and feel of the area
• Signage for a Park & Stride route through Queens Park
