Cllr Mike Hakata, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Environment and Transport, talks about the positive impact of the council’s School Streets programme from our newest – and 26th - zone at St Paul’s Catholic Primary in Wood Green.
More than 11,500 children at 30 educational establishments are now benefitting from safe walking and cycling zones spanning almost 7km during drop-off and pick-up times.
School Streets, part of our Streets for People initiative, encourage more children to travel to and from school on foot, bike or scooter in a safe, fun and active way, cutting air pollution and creating a more pleasant environment at the school gates.
