Local Lib Dem councillor and GLA member Lynne Featherstone has welcomed newsfrom TfL that they have revised the weekend timings for the traffic lightson Colney Hatch Lane, N10.

The revision of the lights at the Pages Lane/Alexandra Park Road and ColneyHatch Lane intersection comes as part of a TfL review following persistentpressure over the past couple of years from Cllr Featherstone. In that timeshe has been approached by local residents and motorists, unhappy with thequeues generated by traffic light sequencing.

While motorists complain of being stuck in long queues regularly at thelights, residents living on the lane and in the surrounding roads complainof being boxed in by stationary traffic. It is hoped that the work, that wasdue to be carried out by TfL last weekend (13th/ 14th November), willalleviate the traffic build-up at weekends.

Cllr Featherstone has welcomed the news but is keen for TfL to continue tolook at ways of reducing tailbacks during the week, particularly at peaktimes of the day.

Cllr Featherstone comments:

“I am pleased that residents and road users will see improvements to thetraffic chaos at the weekend. However I am still concerned about the weekdaysituation and will continue to press TfL to find a solution.”
