Car traffic could soon be banned from outside two schools in Bristol city centre at the start and end of each school day. The move would aim to make the road safer for pupils, cut air pollution levels near the schools and encourage pupils to walk and cycle.
The new proposal would see traffic restrictions in College Square, from 8.15am to 9am and from 2.45pm to 3.45pm. Cathedral Primary School and Bristol Cathedral Choir School would join the growing number of schools with traffic restrictions in the city.
Bristol City Council is now consulting parents, carers, staff, residents and businesses in the area about the changes, as part of its School Streets programme. The programme has already introduced restrictions outside seven other schools in Bristol.
