Crouch End Lib Dem councillors Ron Aitken, Peter Floyd and David Winskill have pledged to support residents of Wolseley Road and Shepherd’s Hill. They are campaigning for traffic calming measures to prevent a serious accident along the busy through-route which connects Crouch End with the A1 Archway Road.

The Lib Dems are campaigning to hold Haringey Council’s Traffic Management Group to a pledge that traffic calming measures will be introduced in the 2003-2004 council budget.

Residents are particularly worried about an accident occurring as large numbers of school pupils cross the road at the junction with Montenotte Road, which is made particularly dangerous by lorries and buses speeding down from Shepherd’s Hill.

“We welcome commitments from Haringey Council that this problem will be addressed,” says Crouch End Lib Dem councillor, Ron Aitken. “Along with my Lib Dem colleagues Peter Floyd and David Winskill, I will press for the decision to be implemented as soon as possible to ensure the safety of schoolchildren and residents.”
