Camden School for Girls Healthy School Street - Sandall Road

Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation and commented here on the changes we trialled. We now have all the permanent changes in place You can read the monitoring report at the end of this page 

You can read the decision report here and local residents have been notified.

What was the issue on Sandall Road?

Camden School for Girls on Sandall Road, suffered with parking issues, congestion, road danger and poor air quality outside the school, making it unsafe for the school community.

As 69% of households in Camden do not own a car we know that safe and easy walking, cycling and scooting routes are more important than ever. Supporting and encouraging those who are able to walk and cycle, by creating safer streets will ensure that there is more space available on public transport and on our roads for those who need it the most.

How have we responded to this challenge?

Sandall Road outside Camden School for Girls is now temporarily closed to motor vehicle traffic at school drop off and pick up times in the morning and afternoon: 8am - 9am and 3pm - 4pm Term time only.

This will:

• make the street outside school safer at the start and end of the school day
• discourage car journeys to school
• improve air quality in the vicinity of the school
• cut down on traffic outside the school

You can find out more about this scheme on our website as well as how to apply for an exemption.
