Safety measures for Muswell Hill moved a step forward this week with the installation of bollards at the foot of the hill.

The news follows months of pressure from Lib Dem ward councillor Lynne Featherstone.

Calls were made for safety improvements earlier this year following a number of accidents and near misses on the junction at the foot of Muswell Hill. Cllr Featherstone requested a number of improvements, including the installation of a speed camera on the busy route, which are currently under consideration by the London Safety Camera Partnership.

Cllr Featherstone comments:

“I am pleased with the news that bollards have been installed, although I am surprised at how long it has taken for the work to take place.

“I am hopeful that further improvements will be implemented soon and this accident blackspot will become less hazardous to both drivers and pedestrians.”
