Transport for London consulting about redesign of key intersection on new walking and cycling route
Better Streets for Enfield have issued a statement about a consultation currently under way about the redesign of a key junction where a west-east walking and cycling route crosses the Great Cambridge Road. Transport for London's proposals, which would reduce hazard and inconvenience for pedestrians and cyclists, are controversial with some drivers.
We want to see
Safe streets
with safe space to walk, cycle and cross on busy roads and quiet, low-traffic streets in neighbourhoods.
Healthy streets
where active travel is the natural choice for short journeys and air is clean enough for children to breathe.
People-friendly streets
with lots of plants and seating, and where motor traffic doesn’t dominate – especially on high streets.
To achieve safe, healthy and people-friendly streets we campaign for
- An end to high-traffic neighbourhoods
- A complete, coherent Borough-wide network of cycle lanes
- Pedestrian-friendly high streets to boost local business
- 20mph as the default speed limit
- Traffic-free streets around every school during school run hours
We are the ‘umbrella’ group campaigning for active travel in Enfield, including walking, wheeling and cycling. Given this we have a strong relationship with the Enfield Cycling Campaign, which is the local branch of the London Cycling Campaign.
What are the local issues that concern you? Please get in touch and let us know! (but also remember we are local volunteers, we will reply as quickly as we can).
