A scheme that sees traffic banned around a school in East Bristol has won support from pupils' parents.
Cars have been banned outside Redfield Educate Together Primary Academy in Redfield since May last year as part of the "School Streets" scheme. The initiative sees traffic banned outside the school during drop-off and pick-up times in a bid to improve air quality and create a safer, healthier and more pleasant environment.
School Streets is currently in operation at four schools across Bristol - Wansdyke Primary School in Hartcliffe and St Peter's C of E Primary School in Bishopsworth, which were the first to launch it, and also Victoria Park Primary School in Bedminster and Redfield Educate Together Primary Academy. Three more schools have now been identified to join the programme this year: Chester Park Junior School in Speedwell, Minerva Primary Academy in Hillfields and Whitehall Primary School in Whitehall.
