Brighton and Hove City Council is reintroducing the School Streets scheme later this month. The council is bringing in trial closures in roads outside three schools in the city - Downs Junior School, Brunswick Primary School and St Luke’s Primary School- from February 22. In addition to the closures during school drop-off and pick up times, between 8am and 10am and 2pm and 4pm, two roads will be closed at one end at all times, with access for cyclists and pedestrians only. The junctions will be closed between Somerhill Road and Lansdowne Road in Hove, near Brunswick Primary, and between Queen’s Park Rise and Queen’s Park Terrace, outside St Luke’s Primary.
