Calls are being made to bring back the traffic ban around a primary school after it was dropped due to a lack of volunteers.
Dussindale Primary in Vane Close, Thorpe St Andrew, was one of three sites selected by Norfolk County Council that trialled the School Streets pilot in which cars were banned from parking outside.
The 18-month pilot started in Dussindale on May 9 but ended just before the summer holidays in July, according to Ian Mackie who is Conservative county and district councillor for Thorpe St Andrew.
Of the trio of schools which took it up only one site is continuing the scheme - Robert Kett Primary in Wymondham - because of struggles to find volunteers to supervise road closures.
But Mr Mackie, a Dussindale primary school governor, said: "I would like to see the car-free project done on a permanent basis. I was pleased by the response from parents."
He added the other board members were supportive of the project and would like to see it return to Dussindale, which he hoped could happen next year.
A county council spokesman said: "The pilot has seen a lot of support from people and parents, and has already provided some very useful feedback, although one thing we’ve found, so far, is that it can be difficult to secure sufficient numbers of local volunteers needed to supervise the road closure points and enable the scheme to operate at each school.
"A report on School Streets will be considered by councillors in March, so they are able to review all the findings and consider what the next steps should be."
Cars could not park in Vane Close during the trial in Thorpe St Andrew.
Mr Mackie added the road was a dead end and previous parking issues from parents in that area raised safety concerns for children as well as people living in the area.
He added the trial had changed people's behaviour in terms of where they parked, in a positive way.
Mr Mackie said a traffic regulation order outside Dussindale primary restricting traffic in the area during certain times of day would help if a parking ban was brought back on a permanent basis.
