A scheme that could see motorists fined £70 for driving in specific areas around schools in Shropshire at certain times is coming into effect within days.The 18-month road safety pilot being trialled at five schools this month will see temporary restrictions on motorised traffic - except for permit holders - during school drop-off and pick-up times.
The restrictions will be in place between 8.15am and 9.15am, and between 2pm and 3.30pm, Monday to Friday, during school terms at Market Drayton Junior School. They won't be enforced until next week. Castlefields Primary School in Bridgnorth was due to take part in the pilot but recently withdrew, and a School Street will instead be introduced later in the year at St John’s Primary School in Bridgnorth.
