Cars could be banned from driving down any roads with schools on them
CARS could be banned from driving on roads with schools on them in Portsmouth in a big to reduce pollution in the city.
"Some of our B roads in Portsmouth are so busy, so noisy and so dangerous – they’re not attractive to pedestrians."One of the solutions have been looking at school streets, which close for through traffic at the beginning and end of the school day. Head teacher at Fernhurst Junior School Roberta Kirby said: "My initial reaction is that I would be in favour of this although I do think someone needs to properly consider how it will work."We are on a very busy road but I think this scheme would work very well here as there are lots of roads around us that could still be used to get around if our road is closed.
