A six month traffic trial will start near two Bournemouth schools from September 3rd, council documents say.

The trial includes a 20mph zone on Hadow Road, Bennion Road, Ibbett Road and Pavan Gardens, plus a one way route for vehicles travelling north to south along Bennion Road and Ibbett Road, with bicycles exempt.
Drivers will also see no entry from Kingswell Road onto Ibbett Road, except for cycles, and a left turn only from Pavan Gardens onto Ibbett Road, alongside new or extended waiting and loading restrictions nearby.
