Safety schemes to launch around schools that will see roads closed to drop-offs

Bosses are proposing to introduce safety schemes outside eight Oldham primary schools which will see some roads around them closed to pupil drop-offs.

With the ‘full support’ of the schools involved, it will see certain roads around them closed to all traffic during term time hours when pupils are arriving and leaving. It is being funded by nearly £85,000 from Transport for Greater Manchester and the Department for Transport. The schemes will be introduced around eight schools; St Edward’s and Hey with Zion in Lees, St Anne’s in Royton, Northmoor Academy in Coldhurst, Christ Church in Chadderton. Corpus Christi in Chadderton – where the measures will also assist with Stanley Road Primary – and St Luke’s in Chadderton.

It's never about investing and funding alternate transport for school kids is it. Surely that's the answer that stops congestions and takes cars off roads.
