The Council’s Road Safety team will contact the school to discuss intervention measures available from the Council and South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership to educate and promote road safety to the children, parents and teachers. This will require support from the school to be effective.

A ‘preliminary’ footway assessment has been carried out under the service priority assessment procedures to convert the verge into footway and achieved a ‘Medium’ priority. This request will be considered for inclusion in a future programme along with all ‘High’ and ‘Medium’ priority requests.

The request for a ‘one way system’ and ‘drop off point’ has been assessed under the traffic measures service priority assessment procedures. This achieved a ‘Low’ priority and will not be taken forward as a scheme.
