Lib Dem councillor for Stroud Green, Laura Edge is calling on Transport for London (TfL) to reverse its decision to fill in the bus stop lay-by on the busy Stroud Green Road, N4.

The lay-by was removed earlier this month to enable the widening of the pavement. However, traffic is now held up when passengers are boarding and leaving the bus at the stop. Local residents and motorists are complaining that the move has added to the congestion of this already busy bus route and main road.

Cllr Edge, along with local councillor and GLA member Lynne Featherstone, is urging TfL to reconsider its decision.

Cllr Laura Edge (Stroud Green) comments:

“This is a very busy commuter road and to remove the bus lay-by simply adds unnecessary time and stress to journeys.”

Cllr Featherstone adds:

“This seemingly good initiative is now causing unforeseen problems. We will bring the issue to the attention of TfL in the hope that they will review this decision.”
