Traffic jams in Colney Hatch Lane could be reduced if plans for new double yellow lines get the final go-ahead. Local Liberal Democrat councillor Lynne Featherstone says that the changes would prevent snarl-ups caused by parked cars on the busy route just south of Muswell Hill Broadway.

Cllr Featherstone has undertaken a site visit on the issue with a council officer and a consultation has now taken place, which received a positive result from the majority of local residents who responded.

Lynne Featherstone, comments:

“The overall impact will be extremely positive, with less congestion and pollution in the Muswell Hill area. In a small number of places where the loss of parking spaces would be a problem, the Council is looking at providing some on-kerb parking. We are now waiting for the Council to work out the details of the scheme.”
