We are working with Morley Memorial Primary School to explore the introduction of a trial School Street from September 2025. Initial plans include school run restrictions to motorised vehicles on Rock Road during pick-up and drop-off times. The aim is to make the roads around Morley Memorial Primary School safer.
Signposting School Streets
Road signs will be erected at either end of the School Street with the details of the closure. This will inform road users of the restriction.
Temporary barriers will signpost and help drivers navigate the initial launch period. The barriers can be moved for exempt drivers as required and will be fully removed outside the timed closures. Volunteer marshals will be on hand to advise drivers on alternative routes.
Exemptions
The following people are eligible for an exemption and can enter and leave the new School Street:
- residents located on the restricted street
- pupils, parents and carers who are Blue Badge holders
- carers of vulnerable residents who live on the restricted street
Additionally, blanket exemptions apply for:
- emergency services
- local authority school buses
- utility providers attending emergencies
- bin lorries
- postal and courier services
Our volunteer marshals will be able to assist with entry and exit at each access point. Please speak to them to inform them of your exempt status as required.
Come speak with us
We invite parents, carers, residents, businesses and members of the local community to speak to us about the plans. Meetings are on:
