St Agatha’s RC Primary School serves a large catchment area, with many parents driving to drop off and pick up pupils. The proposed Safer Route to School project encourages families to ‘Park and Stride’ from nearby parking at King George Memorial playing fields.
A new 3m-wide multi-user path will run from the sports pavilion on Parkdale Avenue along the south side of Park Drive to the school. Upgrade of the path east of the school has also been incorporated to this project to make it safer. The project will help reduce congestion near the school gates and encourage healthier active journeys by allowing pupils to walk the final stretch from the parking areas.
