It comes as Shropshire Council wasto issue fines for drivers for a range of 'moving traffic offences' in May this year.

School Streets are roads outside school gates that are pedestrianised – except for permit holders – during school drop-off and pick-up times. "This is not a move against motorists, but it is important that we make the roads safe for all users, especially around schools.” The School Streets scheme will be 100 per cent funded through DfT grant funding and is estimated to cost approximately £31,000 for schools with one camera and £62,000 for schools with two cameras.
