Car-free streets are being trialled outside eight city schools during the autumn term to create a safer space for children and parents, creating more room for social distancing and encouraging students to walk, cycle or scoot to school.
The council is supporting the scheme by sending travel information packs to 10,000 residents living near each of the closed roads. These packs contain information on learning to cycle, bike maintenance and local facilities, as well as suggested walking routes.
