Summary

  • Over a third of parents report that something makes it harder for their children to walk, cycle, or scoot / skate on the street their school is on (38%)
  • This increases to 42% of parents for St Jude’s but drops to less than a fifth of parents for Bramble (17%)
  • Nearly three-quarters of respondents that indicate an issue report that the problem is ‘car related’ (74%), which includes issues with parking, traffic congestions, or speeding
  • Nearly a third of respondents report that the ‘pavements are too small or crowded’ for them to use (30%)
  • With both themes there is a commonality with parents feeling that the issues are worse at school ‘drop off’ and ‘pick up’ times and that they feel these issues endanger the safety of the route to school
