Broadwater Farm resident access (Gloucester Road traffic filter) – outcome of decision

Part of: Bruce Grove West Green LTN

Proposal and consultation

In July 2025, the Council carried out a statutory consultation on a proposal to allow Broadwater Farm residents to apply for an exemption to drive through the existing traffic filter on Gloucester Road.

During the consultation, objections were received about possible traffic displacement, particularly from residents in streets south of the filter who were concerned about potential increases in traffic on their roads.           

Decision

The council has carefully considered all objections and has decided to approve implementing the proposed change on a trial basis under an experiential traffic order (ETO), so that monitoring and feedback can inform any final decision.

How will this affect me?

The existing Gloucester Road traffic filter will remain in place and will continue to prevent general through‑traffic; if you already hold an exemption then you will be able to continue driving through the filter. The new exemption will allow residents from Broadwater Farm to apply for an exemption (confirmed by the council following an application to be made by the resident) to drive a registered vehicle through the filter. 

Enforcement will continue using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, and vehicles without an exemption may receive a Penalty Charge Notice. Walking, cycling, wheeling, local buses and emergency services remain unaffected.

How to apply for an exemption

How to provide feedback about the change
