Mount Stewart Federations School Proposed Extension

What is a School Street?

A School Street is a term-time restriction of motorised traffic on a road by a school during the school’s pick-up and drop-off period. The scheme will operate from Monday to Friday (in term-time) from 8:15am to 9:15am in the morning and in the afternoon from 2:30pm to 4:00pm. School term dates can be found here: https://www.brent.gov.uk/services-for-residents/education-and-schools/term-dates/

Residents and blue-badge holders who live within the zone, and emergency vehicles will be exempt from these restrictions. The road also remains open to pedestrians and cyclists. The main principle is to make the route to school safer for pupils by reducing the volume of cars, reducing air pollution, and enabling more walking, and cycling.

The full list of exemptions are as follows:

·        Residents that live within the zone

·        Blue badge holders that live within the zone

·        Emergency services

·        Deliveries

·        Carers

·        Licensed taxis

·        School transport & taxi card transport services

·        Council operational vehicles (statutory services)

·        Medical appointment transport

·        Dial-a-ride

·        Royal Mail

·        Medical practitioner

 Residents and businesses located outside of the zone are not exempt from the restrictions, therefore, we ask that you do not drive through the zone during the hours of operation unless one of the above exemptions applies.
