Lib Dem Parliamentary Spokesperson Lynne Featherstone has welcomed moves to tackle the speeding problem on Bounds Green Road.

The road has been subject to a number of accidents in recent times, and Haringey Council has now told Cllr Featherstone that they are seeking to introduce additional speed cameras on the stretch of the road near the North Circular. Ms Featherstone says that if approved the new cameras should be introduced during the 2005/06 financial year.

Lynne Featherstone has also expressed concern about cars overtaking onto the wrong side of Bounds Green Road near the North Circular. Haringey Council has told her that they are waiting for Transport for London’s detailed proposals for the A406 widening in Bounds Green before deciding on additional measures for this section.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I am pleased that action is likely to improve safety on this very wide and busy road.

“Speed cameras and signs will help, but the Council must get to grips with additional traffic islands on the road on the approach to the North Circular. I will continue to press Haringey Council to ensure these improvements are carried out as part of the wider A406 scheme.”
