Six schools across East Sussex will be making more space outside their gates at pick up and drop off times when pupils return to school this month.
The trial School Streets schemes will restrict non-essential motor traffic at specific times to make more space for social distancing, walking and cycling during the school run. The six-week trial will start on 15 March 2021 and finish on 7 May 2021.
