Roads outside East Ayrshire schools could be closed to all traffic

dailyrecord.co.uk:

East Ayrshire Council is considering closing roads outside schools in a bid to make streets safer for kids.Five schools across the region have been earmarked as possible locations for a trial that would see the streets closed to all vehicles at school start and finish times.The restrictions would not apply to permit holders or blue badge holders, and residents of the street would be contacted directly and issued with free permits as the schemes are developed.The streets and schools identified have suffered from significant congestion and unsafe manoeuvres, the local authority said.The schools identified are:Catrine Primary – temporary school time closure of Fourfields and possible further access restrictions on James Taylor Avenue and John.
