This consultation will run for 6 months from the start of the School Street, 6th May until 6th November 2025. This survey should take up to five minutes.

How long is the trial period?

The trial scheme commenced on 6th May 2025 and is due to last for a total of 18 months. During these 18 months there is a 6 month consultation window. This runs from 6th May until the 6th November 2025. After the consultation period has finished, it can be considered whether the scheme can become permanent. 

How will the School Street run?

Over the past few years, Ruishton Primary School has seen an increase in the number of complaints from local residents regarding parking issues, and complaints from parents/carers about the safety of children on and nearby the streets leading to school. As a result, Ruishton Primary School was highlighted as a potential school who could benefit from a School Street scheme. 

To achieve a School Street for Ruishton Primary School we are closing Newlands Road heading South from the Newlands Crescent junction. The time the scheme will be in place will be 08:30 – 09:10am and again between 14:45 – 15:30pm (excluding school holidays and weekends). 

During the closure periods, stewards will be present to help enforce the scheme and to welcome families arriving at the School Street on foot, scooter or cycle. 

Motor vehicles are not permitted to enter the School Street unless they have been granted an exemption, examples of exemptions are: vehicles belonging to residents inside the School Street zone, blue badge holders, emergency services, delivery vehicles.
