More schools are set to have 20mph zones introduced outside their gates.

The 20 is Plenty campaign is gradually being rolled out by Staffordshire County Council.

Now Charnwood Primary School in Lichfield and All Saints Primary School will join a number of others which have seen restrictions introduced and Speed Indication Devices installed to remind drivers to slow down.

The limits apply during drop-off and pick-up times outside the schools and are designed to improve safety for pupils.

County Councillor Simon Tagg said: “The 20 is Plenty scheme aims to remind drivers not to put pupils lives at risk by driving above 20 miles an hour.

“Our scheme has been extremely popular with schools across the county and will help to maintain our position as one of the safest counties in the country.

“The Speed Indication Devices show drivers in real time exactly what speed they are doing, encouraging them to drive slower and more safely.

“It is important to remind drivers to be aware not just of their speed but also to be more vigilant around schools, because children can be preoccupied by their friends, technology and other distractions especially when they are leaving school.”
