SIX schools across East Sussex are taking part in a trial scheme to shut roads to motorists during drop-off and pick-up hours. The School Streets scheme aims to create more space for social distancing, walking and cycling during the school run, and is being delivered by East Sussex County Council in partnership with walking and cycling charity Sustrans. Roads will be closed to non-essential traffic during drop-off and pick-up hours in term time in a six-week trial scheme, which begins on March 15 and will run until May 7. The council said operating times will depend on each participating school and will be timed to align with when pupils arrive and leave, with restrictions likely to be in place for up to one hour in the morning and up to one hour in the afternoon.
