Schools close roads to keep kids safe

More than 40 schools in England have closed the roads around their buildings to cut pollution and make it safer for kids walking to school.

Around 51% of primary school children walk to school and 1 in 4 cars on the roads at busy times are dropping off kids to school.

Cars can give off harmful chemicals which many kids get exposed to on their walk in to school.

The School streets scheme closes roads before and after school and the idea is catching on.

Naz has been to a school in Liverpool that are thinking about rolling out the scheme.
