Plan to put the brakes on drivers by schools

20MPH BID TO MAKE ROADS SAFER

- By ABIGAIL MARLOW

EFFORTS to boost safety outside Kirklees schools are continuing, with 20mph zones, speed bumps and new crossings among the measures being considered.

Kirklees Council is working alongside the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) on a scheme that aims to improve road safety and improve facilities for walking and cycling school related trips within Kirklees.

From now until autumn 2026, the authorities will be seeking views from school communities and local residents at 35 schools and two children's Sure Start centres in the area.
