Liberal Democrat councillors have warmly welcomed the Council’s news that it will implement parking restrictions at the junctions of a number of roads that meet with the busy Park Road, N8, by the end of the year.

The assurance follows pressure from Lib Dem leader and local councillor, Ross Laird, who has been contacted by many residents living in the area concerned at the lack of visibility due to parking by the junctions of the road, which connects Crouch End with Muswell Hill.

The news comes just over a month after fellow Muswell Hill councillor Lynne Featherstone successfully secured an extension to yellow lines at the Onslow Gardens junction on the busy Muswell Hill Road, N10 following requests from concerned residents.

Cllr Laird is pleased with the news, which should improve road safety at the junctions of Farrer Road, Park Avenue South and Barrington Road and urged the Council to continue to work closely with residents to improve road safety across the borough.

Cllr Laird (Muswell Hill) comments:

“I am pleased that we have successfully converted residents’ concerns into action. These measures once implemented will improve road safety for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians in the area.

“Road safety is a high priority for the Lib Dems and we will continue to press for improvements across the borough.”
