The trial aims to enhance safety and reduce traffic congestion at Mount Hawke Academy during drop-off and pick-up times, while encouraging walking and cycling.
What are we consulting on?
We are implementing a School Street scheme to improve safety for everyone around Mount Hawke Academy. This initiative prohibits most traffic from the School Street zone during school pick-up and drop-off times. This will reduce traffic during these times and promote walking and cycling.
Exemptions to the prohibition of motor vehicles include:
- Access to all residential premises within the School Street
- Disabled badge holders
- School buses, taxis or private hire vehicle contracted by Cornwall Council to take children to or from school
- Local buses
- Emergency vehicles
- Vehicles being used in pursuance of statutory duties
- Vehicles being used in connection with removal of traffic obstructions, maintaining or improving the road, or installing and repairing utilities.
Why?
There is significant traffic outside the academy during peak times (drop-off and pick-up), which poses safety risks for students, teachers, and other pedestrians. Similar schemes have yielded positive results in other locations, and we aim to replicate those outcomes here to make the area safer and more pleasant.
The trial period (known as an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO)) will allow us to gauge the success of the design.
Next steps
The trial commences on 22nd April 2025 and will last for a minimum of six months.
Following the trial, we will review all feedback and data to determine the next steps.
