Knowsley council is continuing to adopt a ‘wait and see’ approach to active travel around schools.
Earlier this year, the council said there was “little evidence” schools streets work, and would take the lessons learnt from other local authorities as they trial the measures outside some of their schools.
Schools streets are where traffic is blocked off twice a day as children come in and out to lessons. The aim is to improve road safety around schools, cut emissions in the immediate area by restricting car use and encourage active travel.
