Streets around a primary school in Newcastle have been closed to parents’ vehicles at pick-up and drop-off times.<\/p>\n

Newcastle City Council introduced the 18-month long pilot<\/a> on Monday at Hotspur Primary School in Heaton in a bid to encourage more pupils and parents to walk or cycle.<\/p>\n

Several streets are closed from 08:00 to 09:30 and 14:30 to 16:00 BST, with access permitted for vehicles belonging to local residents, school staff, emergency services and blue badge holders.<\/p>\n

The public are invited to give feedback during the first six months of the trial, the council said.<\/p>\n
