School Streets: Balfour Primary, Varndean School and Dorothy Stringer

We’re proposing to install a School Streets scheme at Balfour Primary, Varndean and Dorothy Stringer School.

School Streets are designed to address issues on the roads around schools at drop off and pick up times, including congestion, illegal or unsafe parking immediately outside of school.

The restrictions will be in place from Monday to Friday 8.15am to 9.15am and 2.45pm to 3.45pm. The restrictions will not apply during school holidays.

More information

We've included further information about School Streets, including exemptions and enforcement, in the first phase of this project.

You can also see a plan and details of the proposals in the survey phase description and in the survey.

We want to know what you think

This survey is open until Monday 20 July.

The survey will take around 10 minutes to complete. You can log in to Your Voice to automatically save your progress and return later to complete your submission.
