School Streets – Keeping your school community safe

The School Streets scheme has been running at Calcot School since September 2021 and has proved successful with just a small number of vehicles ignoring the Safe Streets Car Free Zone.

On Tuesday 11 January 2022, Council Road Safety Officers visited the school where they observed eight vehicles entering the Car Free Zone between 8.15am and 9.15am without a permit.

The registration numbers of these vehicles have now been forwarded to the police who will make contact with the owners to remind them of the rules. If a driver is found to be repeatedly ignoring the restrictions they will receive a £50 fine from Thames Valley Police.

Community School Streets is a tried and tested scheme to remove vehicles from school streets to create a safer and cleaner environment with less air pollution and congestion. For more information visit: http://schoolstreets.org.uk/
