Council response
Thank you for your petition regarding “Harley Grove School
Street”.
There have been two previous consultations for traffic reduction
schemes on Harley Grove to address concerns around pupil safety at
the start and the end of the school day, the most recent in
November 2019. Both consultations were unable to show support for a
workable scheme for all concerned with objections from residents
and the Dr Doctors Surgery. The attached report covers the
consultations.
As Central Foundation is a secondary school, it was not included within the recent School Streets programme which was for primary schools only. However, if the school streets project is to continue officers will be considering suitable secondary schools in the programme and would be willing to reconsider an alternative scheme on Harley Grove that could satisfy access issues.
I hope you find the above response useful.
Kind regards,
