Safer School Journeys - Regents Park Community 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.

Regents Park Community Primary School has been selected for improvements as part of this programme.

We are proposing to introduce:

• Clearer signs and coloured road surfacing, to highlight the school area.
• Raised crossings at Camelot Way and Arthur Street slow traffic and make crossing safer.
• Wider pavements at Arthur Street, Darnel Croft, Bassett Croft and Cooksey Road to make crossing easier.
• Bollards at crossing points to keep them clear of parked vehicles.
• Closure of part of Camelot Way to create a safer, quieter space with opportunities for future community improvements.
• Parking/waiting restrictions on Arthur Street and Dixon Road to help manage parking and keep key areas clear.
