More School Streets
We are calling on the GMCA, TFGM and councils to work together to
Make it easier for schools to apply to be a school street.
Develop a clear plan to roll out school streets in 25% of primary schools by 2030.
Make more resources available to support schools to implement them.
Make trial school streets permanent where these have been a success.
Andy Burnham made a manifesto commitment for 100 new school streets across Greater Manchester in his coming term as Mayor, which is a good start towards making home-to-school travel safer. Read our short briefing below about what we think needs to happen to make that a reality.
If you are thinking about a school street in your area, you could share it with your local councillors. Get in touch with us if you need advice!
