Bosses are proposing to introduce safety schemes outside eight Oldham primary schools which will see some roads around them closed to pupil drop-offs.
Oldham council says it is looking to introduce measures to make roads safer and ‘healthier’ around educational establishments in the borough, as well as tackling issues such as idling cars.
The ‘School Streets’ initiative, which has been backed by Dame Sarah Storey, aims to reduce air pollution, congestion, problem parking and to enable pupils to walk, cycle or ‘scoot’ to school instead of arriving in a car.
