Safe School Streets for Sheffield

4 days in and we've got 88 signatures. I know that there are more people than this in Sheffield that are frustrated about inconsiderate driving and parking around their schools. School Streets has been implemented by other councils and it works. It eliminates school traffic outside schools and reduces morning traffic in the area of a school where 1/4 of the traffic is school traffic. What I am learning is that where this works, where it happens, is where the schools have asked for it. Parents, students and school staff all want to arrive, study and work in a safe environment. If your school is interested in campaigning for School Streets please do send me an email. Thanks!

It's great to have had such a good response so far. 58 responses in less than 24 hours is more than I hoped for. And not just people blindly clicking on a link but people who understand the issue and also know that there are no easy solutions to this problem. I believe though that if this can work in bigger more congested cities that this can work here but it will take the cooperation of residents, schools and of course Sheffield Council to pull this off. I'm currently working on building an alliance of other interested groups who have subject knowledge in the areas of campaigning, pollution, transport, accessibility and equality. Please get in touch with me if you have expertise in any of these areas. Thanks!
