Bounds Green LTN
Background
Following extensive consultation, on 15 August 2022, we introduced our Streets for People LTN trial in Bounds Green because we aimed to reduce traffic volume in the area, encouraging walking, cycling, and wheeling in a safer, cleaner environment.
Read the reasons for this decision.
This was achieved by installing traffic filters, preventing most motor vehicles from passing through (with exemptions). The goal was to decrease through-traffic and promote sustainable travel for local journeys. These filters are signposted, often include planters, and are camera-enforced, allowing emergency services access.
All properties within the LTN remain accessible by car, although routes may have changed. Exemptions were available for certain drivers to pass through some filters upon application.
Consultations
Following an interim review in early 2023, which included public feedback and data analysis, improvements were implemented on 4 September 2023.
Towards the end of the trial, a consultation ran from 23 August to 20 September 2024, using online forms and paper questionnaires, to gather views on making the LTN permanent. Separate surveys were also conducted with disabled groups and carers, and blue badge holders in Haringey were contacted separately.
Decision
Following the consultation on the LTN which closed in September 2024, on 10 December 2024 the Cabinet made the decision to make the LTN permenant.
The permanent orders came into operation on 6 February 2025, in accordance with the national Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996
