Kingsgate Primary School Healthy School Street

Kingsgate Primary School - Healthy School Street (Maygrove Road, Loveridge Road and Ariel Road)

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 November and December 2022 we ran a consultation on on our proposals to implement Healthy School Street restrictions on Maygrove Road, Loveridge Road and Ariel Road to cover Kingsgate 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

• Introducing a new trial Healthy School Street scheme between 7:45 - 9:30 and 3:15 - 4:45, Monday to Friday, during school term time only on the following streets:
• Maygrove Road between the junctions of Barlow Road and Iverson Road
• Loveridge Road between approximately house numbers 61-70 and the junction with Ariel Road
• The whole of Ariel Road

In order to facilitate the above changes, we will also ban the left turn from Iverson Road into Maygrove Road at all times with no exemptions (apart from bicycles and emergency services) and move the zebra crossing at this location 3 metres further into Maygrove Road.

Exemptions

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

• Vehicles registered to properties and businesses within the Healthy School Street restricted area only:
  •  Maygrove Road – east of the junction with Barlow Road to the junction with
  • Iverson Road. Please note there are no exemptions available for residents of Barlow Road or Brassey Road as full vehicular access will be available from the western end of Maygrove Road during restriction times.
  • Loveridge Road – from house numbers 61 – 70 to the junction with Ariel Road.
  • Ariel Road – all addresses.
• Any vehicle being used for ambulance, fire brigade or policing purposes
