Muswell Hill councillor Lynne Featherstone has moved a step closer in her long-running campaign to make safe the dangerous Muswell Hill/ Park Road junction, N10 after Haringey Council confirmed that they are seeking funding for this financial year for a number of improvements.

The news comes after months of frustration for local residents and Cllr Featherstone who have had to work hard to secure the improvements to a traffic blackspot.

The improvements planned for this financial year, dependent upon funding being secured, include the implementation of an anti-skid surface at selected locations and additional markings to improve lane discipline.

Cllr Featherstone welcomes the news but believes further safety improvements are needed for drivers and pedestrians alike.

Cllr Featherstone comments:

“This junction is an accident hotspot in the borough mainly due to its very poor lay-out.

“In an ideal world, it would be completely redesigned. However these planned improvements will help to improve safety for local residents and all who use it.”
