School Streets is an approach where streets are closed to motor traffic at the start and end of the school day.
These zones helps reduce congestion and air pollution, making it easier and safer to walk or cycle to school.
Every school within the Borough was considered for the pilot, Milton Keynes Council has considered a few factors when selecting the schools to pilot this scheme, such as road classification and bus routes.
Schools involved include:
