Astrea Academy, Burngreave, is first secondary to have a School Street
- 4 months ago
Astrea Academy Sheffield, in Burngreave, campaigned to improve road safety outside the school after a number of near misses at busy times.
As a result, Sheffield City Council designated the area as one of its new School Streets. The initiative was designed to reduce the amount of traffic in an area, create safer school environments and cleaner air while encouraging pupils and parents to adopt 'active travel'.
Andover Street, which splits Astrea Academy Secondary and Primary Academy, is now closed to traffic between 8am and 9.15am and 2.30pm and 3.45pm Monday to Friday from the junction with Fox Street.
