The Streets for People initiatives will transform the start and end of the school day at Welbourne Primary in Tottenham and Bounds Green Infants and Juniors when the two new schemes launch on Wednesday 3 September 2025.
It means more than 17,000 children at 45 educational establishments will be benefitting from zones spanning 12.6km during drop-off and pick-up times.
School Streets encourage more children to travel to and from school on foot, bike or scooter in a safe, fun and active way, cutting air pollution and creating a more pleasant environment at the school gates.
Cllr Mike Hakata, Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Environment and Transport, said:
We are very proud of our expanding School Streets programme and the part it plays in building a fairer, greener borough.
School Streets are crucial in helping to reduce air pollution, support active travel and improve road safety for children.
I’m delighted we are introducing more Streets for People initiatives and children at two additional schools will have the opportunity for healthier lives.
Only people walking, cycling and wheeling, and those with vehicle exemption permits, are eligible to enter the zone while the School Street is in operation.
People who live or have a business inside the schemes can apply for free exemptions here.
Introduction of the schemes follows extensive engagement with the parents, schools and local community.
