Last week we temporarily moved planters on Southfield Park, Kingsfield Avenue and Pinner View (by Bolton Road) in response to residents’ concerns and to help alleviate the additional pressure on the road network caused by essential road works to replace gas mains on Station Road.
The planters were installed as temporary emergency measures earlier this autumn in four areas of Harrow to create safer streets in neighbourhoods affected by high volumes of traffic and pollution. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) are part of the Government initiative to support social distancing and promote greater levels of walking and cycling. Councils were required to implement emergency schemes with unprecedented pace – the speed that the council acted was in response to the nature of the emergency but also a requirement of the conditions for Government funding.
We’ve listened to your feedback and we're going to keep these changes in place until we do the overall review of the scheme.
The traffic schemes, including the LTNs, are reviewed on a monthly basis to understand their impact, this includes feedback from residents – the data for the most recent review can now be viewed online at www.harrow.gov.uk/streetspace
LTNs have a place in Harrow and we are committed to creating schemes that work for our residents which address the ongoing issues of speeding and high levels of traffic on narrow residential roads. We will continue to engage with you about the future scope of the LTNs ensuring your views are listened to as part of the decision-making process.
You can give your feedback on the LTNs, as well as the cycle lanes and school streets, on Have your say
