School Streets
A consultation by the Council that affects Sherington, Our Lady of Grace and Invicta schools.
The proposals would introduce restrictions on streets around the schools, preventing access and
parking
at specific times during term time.

The introduction of the restrictions around Sherington school will force traffic onto adjacent
roads - roads which
are used by children walking to school. Whilst the council recently repainted parking bay and
double-yellow markings on Bramshot Avenue,
they have not repainted fading markings on Eastcombe Avenue, near where children cross.
Monitoring showed traffic regularly exceeding 20mph on the upper part of Eastcombe Avenue.
The WCRA have asked for a pedestrian crossing to be considered here. A quick measure would be
the repainting of these faded markings around this blind bend, where near misses have been
witnessed
between vehicles and pedestrians (made worse when large vehicles park here).
