Liberal Democrats in Crouch End are calling for residents to report their worries about speeding traffic in the area. This comes after a number of residents contacted Lib Dem councillors and expressed their concern over speeding and rat running in the Crouch Hill and Ferme Park Road area.

The Lib Dems are writing to residents in the roads worst affected by traffic cutting through from Crouch Hill to Ferme Park Road, which include Tregaron Avenue, Elm Grove, Womersley Road and Dashwood Road. There is particular concern because many of the routes are near primary schools, increasing the risk to children during term time.

Crouch End Councillors David Winskill and Ron Aitken are urging Haringey Council to look at ways of improving road safety in the area. However they want to engage local people in the lobbying process and will be acting on the feedback they receive from residents.

Cllr David Winskill comments: “We are concerned about the speeding problem that has been reported by many residents in the area. It is important that residents respond to the letter so that we can put forward a proposal that will be of most benefit.”

Cllr Ron Aitken adds: “We have a number of ideas which include seeking money from the ‘safer routes to school’ scheme or talking to police about enforcing speed limits. Ultimately, we need to find a solution that is most suitable to this area and that is why we are keen to hear from all residents.”
