Ecole Jeanine Manuel Healthy School Street

What is happening now?

During September and October 2022 we consulted on whether to make the trial Healthy School Street as well as two way cycling on the south section of Bedford Square permanent. Thank you to everyone who shared their views.  We have now decided to make the following changes permanent:

• Healthy School Street motor vehicle restrictions on the southern section of Bedford Square between 8am – 9am and 4pm - 5pm (changed from 3pm – 4.30pm to more closely align with the end of the school day), Monday to Friday during term time only. Until the signage is updated the original restriction times will continue to be enforced.

• Two way cycling provision on the southern section of Bedford Square.

What was the issue?

The school 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 and public transport capacity remains much lower than before the pandemic, 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.
