Roads around a primary school in Newcastle have been closed to parents’ vehicles at pick-up and drop-off times.
Newcastle City Council unveiled the 18-month pilot at Hotspur Primary School in Heaton on Monday to encourage more pupils and parents to walk or cycle.
Several roads will be closed from 08:00 to 09:30 and 14:30 to 16:00 BST, with access permitted for vehicles belonging to residents, school staff, emergency services and blue badge holders.
The public is invited to provide feedback during the first six months of the process, the council said.
