First School Street in Newcastle to start next week

📢Pupils at Hotspur Primary, in Heaton, will be enjoying safer, healthier and less polluted journeys to school from next Monday (June 13).

🚧Roads around the school, including Hotspur Street, Mowbray Street, Newington Road and some back lanes, will close to general traffic from 8am - 9.30am and 2.30pm - 4pm as part of a new School Street scheme.

🛴It’s aimed at improving road safety and air quality outside schools and encouraging children, parents and carers to walk, scoot or cycle instead of driving.

Head Teacher Kevin McVittie and Ali Stansfield from Sustrans tell us why they are excited.
