We support schools seeking to update their travel plans
to reflect expansion or changes in circumstance, including
promoting the STARS travel plan award scheme. This year
another school was awarded a Silver STAR for their efforts
to promote healthy sustainable travel, and a further 10-12
achieved their Bronze award.
We are seeking to engage with all 22 schools and colleges
in or adjacent to the Mini Holland area to ensure their travel
plans are fit for purpose, with a view to having all of them
updated and to encourage greater levels of walking and
cycling to school. As part of our strategy, where a school
seeks new engineering measures outside its premises we will
look at their travel plan in the first instance to ensure that the
measure has been identified and consulted upon adequately.
We manage the school crossing patrol service for the 14
remaining crossing sites in Waltham Forest, and engage
with schools seeking new crossings to recruit officers under
a service level agreement process. One primary school has
recently signed an agreement and we will be assisting the
school in recruiting suitable staff in November.
