We are very pleased that today the bollards were installed on the junction of St. Vincent Street and Cramer Street. Signage will be erected later this week.
After many, many years of campaigning by the school, including a tremendous petition organised by our parents, the City Council has started work towards the pedestrianisation of St. Vincent Street. Vehicles will be prohibited from entering St. Vincent Street from Cramer Street, by the installation of removable bollards at the junction.
The removal of vehicular traffic from St. Vincent Street offers a much safer shared space environment in the local area, and will encourage sustainable active travel to and from school, for pupils and parents.
This is a trial before permanent pedestrianisation. If any significant and evidenced road user conflicts arise during the first six months of the experiment, further measures will be considered to address any concerns at the review stage before permanent measures are introduced.
We are very pleased by this significant development towards improving the safety of our pupils. Thank you to Councillor Scarborough, our wonderful parents and wonderful local community who supported our campaign.
