A busy road in Oxfordshire could be closed off for six hours a day to prevent mothers from using their cars to drop off their children at school.
The Thame Better Ways to School campaign has worked to seal off Denbigh Road on Lea Park Estate to prevent mothers dropping off and collecting their children.
Thame Town Council has said that the plans are over the top and officers claim that it would be better to educate the mothers to walk their children to school rather than set up measures that would seriously effect traffic.
Campaign leaders have held discussions with Oxfordshire County Council and the plan would be to ban vehicles from 7.30am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 6.30pm Monday to Friday.
Committee chairman David Dodds, a headteacher himself, said: "These measures are just too draconian. Schools operate only 190 days a year but these restrictions would apply all year round."
