Online community spaces launched to have your say on St Ann’s and Bruce Grove West Green LTN trials
Online community spaces have been launched for local people to share their views and ensure the voices of everyone are heard on two Streets for People low traffic neighbourhood trials.
Following the introduction of the St Ann’s and Bruce Grove West Green schemes in August and November 2022 respectively, hundreds of comments have been received on the measures.
Now the council has created two new Commonplace platforms, https://stannsltn.commonplace.is and https://brucegrovewestgreenltn.commonplace.is as another accessible way for people to have their say on the schemes, which have been implemented on an experimental basis.
It follows a similar engagement exercise for the Bounds Green low traffic neighbourhood trial.
Cllr Mike Hakata, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Environment and Transport said:
Our low traffic neighbourhood trials have been introduced to reduce the overall volume of traffic in and around the area so that the whole community can benefit from cleaner air and safer streets.
I understand that this is a huge change to the areas and that it has had a major impact on how many of you get around, both positive and negative. I want to thank everyone who has already provided their comments and observations on the low traffic neighbourhood trials.
Working with residents and businesses to ensure we get this right has always been, and will remain, a priority. We’ve launched these two platforms to create an easy-access space for you to give us your views and learn about the scheme. We’re listening and are keen to hear your thoughts. Help us shape the future of these low traffic neighbourhoods.
Visitors to the online platforms can find out full details of the trials, including exemptions, and comment on issues ranging from pollution and congestion to road safety and anti-social behaviour.
An interactive map enables visitors to the site to look at the layout of the low traffic neighbourhood trial, place pins with their comments and see how the scheme is perceived. All views are anonymous.
The council is sending a postcard to every property inside and on the boundary of the scheme encouraging residents and businesses to have their say.
In addition to the Commonplace engagement exercises, the council is monitoring traffic levels in the trial. This data, along with extensive air pollution monitoring and feedback from residents, businesses, community groups and the emergency services, will provide a comprehensive picture of how well the scheme is working.
The information will be analysed by an independent traffic data consultancy once the low traffic neighbourhood trials have bedded in, and a report published.
The deadline for responses to both Commonplace surveys is 10 March 2023. To request a paper copy of the survey, call our dedicated low traffic neighbourhood line on 020 8489 4787.
