[email protected], 020 7926 0525 Report summary The current administration’s 2018 manifesto committed to install green screens at Lambeth schools on a main road. This report considers progress to date and recommends the programme to deliver against this ambition by May 2022. In recent years, green screens have been built at St Anne’s Primary and Stockwell Primary School, as part of the Mayor’s Air Quality School Audit programme, and also at Wyvil Primary, St Helen’s Primary, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary, Loughborough Primary, St John the Divine Primary, Oasis Johanna Primary, and Rosendale Primary. This report sets out proposals to install green screens at additional schools in Lambeth and explains the reasons why green screens are being recommended at certain schools. Table 1 lists schools in Lambeth which have not been selected for a green screen and the reasons why. An overview plan and list of schools included in the current green screen programme is set out in Table 2 of this report. Finance summary The total maximum cost of the school green screens programme is estimated to be £350,000. This cost can be met from the capital budget for Energy, Flood Prevention and Climate Change response infrastructure agreed by Cabinet in July 2020. If required, contributions could also be sourced from the capital budget for Transport and Public Realm agreed in July 2020 or from grant funding that becomes available for these measures.
