Results updated 12 Feb 2021

During December 2020 we consulted on changes proposed for Camden Park Road and Torriano Avenue.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their views. We had over 175 responses and following the consultation, we have made the decision to implement the proposed changes as a trial. 

The new scheme on Camden Park Road and Torriano will now be implemented from mid February 2021 and a letter has gone out to all local residents and businesses. You can read the decision reports relating to this, and our feedback to the consultation responses in the decision report.

Overview

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed how people in Camden live, travel and work. Since the start of the pandemic many of us have been spending more time closer to home, making our neighbourhoods more important than ever. We want our streets to be safe spaces for you to walk and cycle, for children to get to and from school safely and healthily, for businesses to be able to flourish and for you to be breathing cleaner air.

As 69% of households in Camden do not own a car and public transport capacity remains much lower than before the pandemic, we know that safe and easy walking, cycling and scooting routes are more important than ever. Supporting and encouraging those who are able to walk and cycle, by creating safer streets will ensure that there is more space available on public transport and on our roads for those who need it the most.

 

Why your views matter

As part of our ongoing programme of Safe and Healthy Street projects to respond to the challenges of Coronavirus, we are proposing to make changes on Camden Park Road and Torriano Avenue. We are proposing make changes which improve bus journey times, cycling and pedestrian facilities.

In line with new Department for Transport guidance, we are now consulting on all new Safe and Healthy Street schemes so that we can engage our local residents, businesses and stakeholders in changes happening on their streets. We want to know what you think about these proposals.

What happens next

 As the consultation is now closed, your views, and those of everyone who contributes to this consultation, will be analysed and considered, alongside relevant data available on the scheme and in light of how the scheme aligns with our current policy objectives, in order to put forward recommendations on whether to proceed with the proposals. A summary of this analysis will be provided in the decision report, and will be made available on the Camden Council website in due course.
