Road Safety and School Travel Team (STaRS)
Hillingdon Council is investigating traffic management and commissioning surveys to address road safety near schools.
Hillingdon Council is currently investigating traffic management measures for Newnham Avenue, Eastcote, including a timed one-way system, following a resident petition in April 2026. This decision by the Cabinet Member for Planning, Housing & Growth, Councillor Steve Tuckwell, aims to address daily challenges faced by pupils and families due to congestion and safety concerns near schools.
In April 2026, the council also agreed to commission traffic surveys for Clifton Gardens after residents raised concerns about congestion and speeding, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up times. These initiatives fall under the remit of the Road Safety and School Travel Team (STaRS), which focuses on road safety and school travel initiatives within Hillingdon Council.
