The permit allows you to drive within this zone at all times without receiving a fine.

Apply for a school street permit.

For more information on school streets email publicrealm@islington.gov.uk.

The School Street trial at Pooles Park Primary School was suspended on 5 December 2020 indefinitely, due to safety concerns.

The location of the School Street was creating parking pressure on Lennox Road, where the secondary entrance to the school is, and a key walking route. Current traffic arrangements in the area do not allow the council to include Lennox Road to the School Street zone without creating significant diversion routes. Therefore, in consultation with the School, the decision was made to end the trial. 

As a result, pre-consultation counts were not carried out, and subsequently the location was excluded from the School Streets phase 1 consultation monitoring report.

For the full consultation results for this school, please view the full School Streets phase 1 consultation report.

School Street extension

The suggestion of extending the existing School Street at Whitehall Park School was first raised in the public consultation on making the School Street permanent in September 2021. The School Street extension into Dresden Road addresses road danger concerns by removing any traffic or additional parking on Dresden Road during the School Street hours when the street is most used by people walking and cycling to school. 

To ensure that you can have your say on how the measures are working, we have chosen to implement the extension on a trial basis, under an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO). An Experimental Traffic Order (ETO) is like a permanent Traffic Regulation Order in that it is a legal document that imposes traffic and parking restrictions. However, unlike a Traffic Regulation Order an ETO can only stay in force for a maximum of 18 months while the effects are monitored and assessed. An ETO is made under Sections 9 and 10 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Once an ETO comes into force there is a six month period in which objections can be made. If the ETO is subsequently modified, objections can be made in the six months following from the date of the changes. You can read more about how to make a formal objection on our Frequently Asked Questions page, under the question 'What is an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO)?'
