East Boldon Infants School

Overview

South Tyneside Council are writing to the residents immediately surrounding the above school to attempt to address and alleviate issues which are currently ongoing due to school pick up and drop offs.

The team have been looking at this area for some time trying to assess how to possibly improve the area to ensure optimal Road Safety for pedestrians and motorists alike. Given the ongoing issues, the team have drafted up proposals for a scheme, this includes;

• Protecting the junctions with restrictions – this is in order to ensure that there is safe movement for traffic utilising the area.
• Extending the one-way system and moving the give way markings – this will avoid the conflict of two-way traffic trying to use the area at busier times.
• Introducing new informal crossing points – proposed on Gordon Drive and Alison Drive junctions to create safer crossing points for pedestrians, this is to be funded by CAF and your local ward members.
• Introducing some permit parking for the residents of Prospect Terrace - these permits will only be eligible for residents 1 to 12 Prospect Terrace and properties 1 to 5 The Orchard – this is due to these properties having little to no off-street parking and fronting the restrictions.
