Roads outside schools in Cambridgeshire will be briefly closed at start and end of school day from September

Schools across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough are joining the drive to encourage social distancing and reduce pollution at school gates.

They have signed up to the School Streets scheme, which from September will see roads outside schools closed briefly at the beginning and end of the school day.

The initiative will help families adhere to social distancing and encourage active travel, as well as reducing congestion outside schools and improving safety for children.
