Decision details

The Area Committee has given approval to the following proposals for the Road Safety around Schools – St Bernadette’s Primary School scheme to be funded from the Road Safety around Schools programme budget allocation:

(1) the introduction of Traffic Regulation Orders and associated signage; implementation of dropped kerbs with tactile paving; middleton and pencil bollards; and new school warning signs.

(2) the legal advertising of the Traffic Regulation Order set out in appendix A and shown on Drawing No. 0305/66/SB/002, and subject to no objections being received within 21 days from the advertisement date, the subsequent making of the orders.

The introduction of No Waiting & No Loading Monday to Friday 8:15am - 9:15am and 2:45pm - 3:45pm restrictions along the south-western side of Foliage Road was considered in order to keep this section free of parked vehicles at school drop-off and pick-up times. Due to the provision of pedestrian access points to the school from the north and the south, this section of Foliage Road was not well utilised by pupils walking and cycling to the school. The benefits of these additional parking restrictions were therefore not considered to exceed the impact on local residents.

None.
