This guidance is aimed at local authorities in Wales, particularly authorities with limited experience of delivering School Streets schemes.
It may also be of interest to school staff and governors.
The guidance provides an overview of what School Streets are, the key steps and factors to consider when developing and implementing schemes and how School Streets fit within the wider context of enabling walking, wheeling and cycling to school.
It is not meant to be an exhaustive guide but provides links to more detailed information and support.
Throughout the guidance there are references to “walking and wheeling” where “wheeling” refers to journeys by kick scooters, (non-motorised) wheelchairs and mobility scooters.
