During term time motor vehicles will not be permitted to drive in the streets around our 5 pilot schools on weekdays between 8.30am to 9.15am and 2.45pm to 3.45pm.
Signs will inform drivers of the restrictions at the entrance to the school Street and any unauthorised vehicles entering during restricted times will be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice.
You may be able to apply for a permit which will allow your vehicle to drive in a School Street during restricted times.
All School Street permits are free and need to be applied for online. Please allow 5 working days for your permit application to be considered.
We will issue you with an annual School Street Permit free of charge if you are a Blue Badge holder and when:
- you or your child attend a school in the school street
- you are a staff member of one of our trial schools
- you are a resident of a school street
You will need to upload proof of eligibility, and applications can take up to 5 working days to be considered.
You can apply for a free short term temporary waiver if you are a Blue Badge holder and need temporary access to the school street.
These will last up to 5 calendar days.
You will need your Blue Badge reference number to hand.
Only residents and blue badge holders can apply for school street permits. Vehicles driven by the following are not permitted to enter the school street during operating times:
- trades people
- contractors
- visitors
- parents and school staff
- delivery people
If a vehicle does not have a valid permit the driver will need to make arrangements so that they do not drive in the School Street, such as finding parking nearby or arranging to visit outside of the restricted times.
Vehicles belonging to genuine visitors that are already within the School Street before the times of operation will be able to leave without incurring a fine.
