Exbourne Road School Street
A School Street application for Exbourne Road was submitted by Geoffrey Field Junior and Infant Schools and Christ The King Primary School in Reading and approved as an Experimental Traffic Order (ETRO) at the Councils Traffic Management Sub Committee in June 2024.
The scheme involves the closure of Exbourne Road to all but eligible vehicles.
Apart from the school the only properties that would be affected within the closure area would be residential and under the terms of Reading’s school street scheme these vehicles would retain access under the eligible vehicle category. The time of the road closure for the School Street will be 8.20 to 9.05 for morning drop-off and 14.50 to 15.30 for afternoon pickup, Monday-Friday during term time only.
Phases
Results & outcome
The six-month consultation on the Exbourne Road School Street Scheme has now concluded. Transport Officers, working with partners at the schools, are analysing the results and these will be published along with recommendations on the future of the scheme in a report that will be submitted to a meeting of the Council's Traffic Management sub-Committee before the end of December 2025.
