Every school in
London is required to have a travel plan by 2009, and any state
school that has a travel plan is entitled to a capital grant,
primary schools can receive £5,000 and secondary schools
£10,000.
This money can be spent on anything the school likes, so long as
the work is a capital building project.
Since 2003 the Borough has secured over £210,000 in capital
grants for Redbridge schools which have been spent on projects such
as new pedestrian entrances, CCTV, Lighting and covered weighting
areas.
The Borough runs a number of travel awareness campaigns aimed at
schools such as
- Walk on Wednesday
- Walk to School Week
- Good Going Week
Any school that requires new/ improved cycle facilities can
obtain them from Transport for London, free of charge, by
undertaking a travel plan.
For more information about school travel
plans please contact Julie Ward.
