SCHOOL STREETS SCHEME - EXPERIMENTAL ROAD CLOSURES AND PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE ZONE

LAMBERT ROAD, MANDRELL ROAD, MINET ROAD, MOUNTEARL GARDENS, MOUNT NOD ROAD, STRATHLEVIN ROAD, AND STUDLEY ROAD.

(NOTE: This notice is about creating school streets schemes for Allen Edwards, Dunraven/Livity, Henry Cavendish, Loughborough, and Sudbourne schools by closing part of Dingley Lane, Lambert Road, Mandrell Road, Minet Road, Mountearl Gardens, Mount Nod Road, Strathlevin Road, Studley Road, and Woodfield Avenue to all motor vehicles except permit holders at certain times of the day by introducing a pedestrian and cycle zone, initially as an experiment. The road closures and pedestrian and cycle zone can operate between the times listed in paragraph 2 on Mondays to Fridays, although it is anticipated that they will only operate during those hours in school term-time. Objections may be made to the road closures and the pedestrian and cycle zone being continued on a permanent basis – see paragraph 6.)
