Reason

This will continue in force indefinitely the restrictions which are outlined in Appendix 1 of this report.

The prohibition of motor vehicles restriction implemented at times related to school drop-off and pick-up has been positively received by the school and local community as seen in public engagement and consultation outcomes. The School Streets have to date successfully remained in place with the support of the schools themselves and the school community.
