BSfE has reviewed the recent petition entitled ‘A Demand for Access’, as presented to Enfield Council’s Scrutiny & Oversight Committee (February 2025) by some residents calling themselves the ’13 Roads’ of the Bowes LTN Quieter Neighbourhood (QN).
In summary, we conclude that the petition’s claim to ‘unique’ conditions
that deny ‘reasonable access to premises’ cannot be sustained; and that
the petition’s ‘demand’ to drive through additional junctions would create
circumstances likely to increase traffic, reduce safety, create inequalities,
and undermine the goals and integrity of the Quieter Neighborhood.
