## Resource

Leicester is testing a bold new plan to make school drop-offs safer and cleaner around St John the Baptist Primary School, closing off key streets to cars during rush hours—starting Tuesday, June 2nd. The move, backed by 90% local support, aims to protect 600 kids from traffic dangers and slash pollution, while encouraging walking and biking. Parents can apply for exemptions, and the city’s “Park and Stride” push invites families to walk the final stretch. This experimental trial could become permanent—or be scrapped—if it doesn’t work.
