The Sustainable Transport team at Essex County Council has received funding through the Active Travel Fund 4 scheme which will allow us to make improvements.
A survey and school gate event took place to shape the changes on the street. A selection of physical measures were explored in 2024, including:
A new raised zebra crossing to slow traffic and improve conditions when crossing.
New speed cushions.
New pencil-shaped bollards.
More law enforcement presence.
Replacement illuminated bollards to improve conditions when crossing.
What is happening along Hawthorn Avenue:
Construction of a raised zebra crossing, speed cushions and carriageway resurfacing has taken place during January - April. The works were completed over a combination of nights, weekends and daytime working (daytime half-term working only).
We have also employed Enforcement Officers to patrol school streets and enforce current restrictions and encourage considerate parking behaviours
Behaviour measures:
Creating and or continuing a School Travel Plan with our coordinator Nick Hill.
Active Travel Pledges. Please find the Primary and Secondary pledges here.
Car Sharing.
Sustainable travel route maps.
Bikeability Training for pupils (please note Infant schools are not included). Please see the link on the right (laptop) or bottom (phone) for more information
Pedestrian Training Road Safety Course.
Educational Materials. (see attached and can you link to the Anti-idling campaign on the Air Quality website: What can I do? | Essex Air)
Priorities for future fundinginclude:
Introducing more green space, speed limits and signage.
Exploring additional crossing points.
Widening footpaths.
Introducing segregated cycle paths.
