West Hampstead Healthy School Street

September update - Healthy School Street launched 30th October.

We're sorry that due to a disruption in securing signs, that the Healthy School Street was not put in place at the start of the school year as we promised.

We apologise for the confusion this caused and for the delay in starting the Healthy School Street. The Healthy School Street launched on Monday 30th October

Consultation results

Over three weeks during October and November 2022 we ran a consultation on on our proposals to implement Healthy School Street restrictions around West Hampstead Primary School. 

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their views. We have now made the decision to make the following changes:

What is changing:

From the beginning of the new school year on Wednesday 6th September we will be introducing trial Healthy School Street motor vehicle restrictions between 8.30am - 9.30am and 3pm - 4pm, Monday to Friday, during school term time only on the following streets:

• Dornfell Street
• Glastonbury Street
• Ravenshaw Street
• Broomsleigh Street

The restrictions will be enforced by signage and Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras at the junctions of Mill Lane and Ravenshaw Street and Broomsleigh Street. The scheme signage will be closed during the school holidays and it will not be enforced on Bank Holidays.

Exemptions

The following vehicles are eligible for an exemption from the timed Healthy School Street restrictions:

• Vehicles registered to properties and businesses on Dornfell Street, Ravenshaw Street, Glastonbury Street and Broomsleigh Street
• Any vehicle being used for ambulance, fire brigade or policing purposes
• Refuse collection vehicles
• Door to door services such as Plus Bus and Dial A Ride
• Blue Disabled Badge holders that require access to an address within the Healthy School Street
