Details of a £3m scheme to improve road safety around local schools will be heard by Manchester City Council’s Neighbourhoods and Environment Scrutiny Committee.

The funding, which is drawn from Manchester City Council and Transport for Greater Manchester pots, will be used to create safer roads around primary schools, with 34 schools identified to benefit from the first phase of the scheme. 

Schemes have been designed for each school, pending public consultation, with proposed interventions including new pedestrian or zebra crossings, additional pedestrian guardrails, bollards and new yellow lines.
