Local Liberal Democrats have welcomed the award of money for traffic calming measures around the North Circular Road. Transport for London have told Cllr Lynne Featherstone that money has been released for both Enfield and Haringey Councils to work together developing a number of schemes in the Bounds Green and Alexandra Park areas to ease the misery for residents caused by the notorious bottleneck on the A406.

TfL recently received a joint submission from Enfield and Haringey Councils with outline proposals for traffic calming and traffic management measures in areas close to the A406. The London-wide body has now approved the proposals in principle and has authorised the release of funds that will allow the two councils to proceed with initial design and consultation on new measures.

Cllr Lynne Featherstone comments:

“This money is sorely needed and Haringey Council will now be able to work up proposals and consult. Positive solutions to the traffic problems in the areas are long overdue and I am delighted that progress is now being made.”

Cllr Susan Oatway, Alexandra ward councillor, adds:

“Enfield and Haringey should now be able to get moving on proposals for the area. We will be working with the two councils and local people to ensure that the Haringey Council offers schemes which are best for the local area.”
