Bath introduces new school traffic rules boosting safety. Some are happy, but concerns have been raised.
The council already put £250,000 into this plan using money from last year’s Clear Air Zone. More funding means they can do more projects and they met with schools interested in the project. They will soon study how to build the plan.
Details on the project will come out soon. The Green Party likes the project, but they want more information published. They want the council to outline a clear plan.
One Green councillor is happy about the school streets because she thinks it will make areas safer and healthier. It will also reduce school pollution.
The Green Party worries the project is not big enough and projects might only happen on small streets. They want to know the delivery plan.
Another Green leader said kids waited too long, and that school travel affects a child’s health. School streets improve health.
The Green Party wants a five-year plan to create safe school streets for all kids. They want good projects at every possible school by 2030.
