During term time volunteers help to steward the School Street on College Road M16. The road is closed to through traffic between 0815am and 9 am and between 1445 and 1530pm. This reduces the level of pollution that children experience and promotes walking and cycling to school. The street is safer for children without cars at drop off and pick up time.
