PDF 146 KB
A School Street trial was introduced on Livingstone Road, Bournemouth (Pokesdown Community Primary) by way of an experimental traffic order (ETRO). This facilitates for a maximum of 18 months a prohibition of motor vehicles restriction to coincide with the school start and end times each day.
Consultation and engagement ran for the first six months of the trial. The school street has successfully remained in place with the support of the school and the school community.
A decision is now being sought to make the existing experimental order which expires in August 2024 permanent.
