Have your say on Herts County Council (HCC) plans to implement parking restrictions outside a St Albans primary school.

Following feedback from residents, the council is considering the introduction of "School- Keep Clear" markings on Windermere Avenue.

The proposal will prevent vehicles parking directly outside of Windermere Primary School - as seen on the diagram below:

Fresh road markings would stretch between no 44 and no 60 Windermere Avenue, directly outside the school grounds.

School Keep Clear restrictions are usually implemented to clear an area for children's safety and accompanying signs may indicate specific times the restrictions are active.

To fund the initiative, HCC will use its Highway Locality Budget.

Any feedback provided by the community during this first stage will be carefully considered and may help shape the proposals - individual comments will not be replied to at this stage.

If the scheme moves forward, there will be a second phase where the detailed plans are published, and the community will have another chance to give their views before anything is finalised.

Members of the public can respond to the consultation until 11.45pm on January 29.

To share your views contact HCC by completing the brief survey at: www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/Consultations or alternatively, send a letter.
