School Streets Initiative

On Wednesday 10th June, Lime Tree Primary Academy took part in a School Streets trial, in collaboration with Trafford Council.

Students, families, staff and the local community will have the opportunity to have their say through consultation over the coming weeks.

We hope the success of the trial day will be reflected in the consultation, and that we will be a school street in the near future!

A School Street is a road outside a school with a temporary restriction on motorised traffic at school drop-off and pick-up times. The restriction applies to school traffic and through traffic. The result is a safer, healthier and pleasant environment for everyone.

School Street schemes offer a proactive solution for school communities to tackle air pollution, poor health and road danger reduction. A School Street scheme will encourage a healthier lifestyle and active travel to school for families and lead to a better environment for everyone.
