Council to ban cars from two Bedford roads during the school run

The roads affected are Oak Road and Canvin Way and cars will be barred between 8am and 9.15am and 3pm and 4pm, Monday to Friday.

The restrictions follow a trial run and the council says it’s being brought in “to reduce congestion, to help reduce the amount of pollution that school children are exposed to outside schools, and to encourage less reliance on the car for the school run”.

King's Oak Primary School is in Oak Road – and the restrictions for the whole lengths of both those roads will come into force on May 25.
