We are writing to seek your views on the Council’s proposals to improve the junction at Swains Lane, Highgate West Hill and Highgate Road. The changes proposed are as a result of the new development recently completed at 1-11a Swains Lane & 109-110 Highgate West Hill. These proposals aim to make it easier and safer for people to cross the road.
The main proposals consist of the following:
Other options were considered, including changing the junction to a T-junction and removing the roundabout. However, this was discounted due to potential adverse traffic impacts on the junction and an awareness of the local desire to retain the roundabout. The proposals, if approved and implemented, will result in the loss of one resident permit holder parking space and three paid for parking spaces. The funding for the changes has been secured from the developer through a S106 agreement.
Details of proposed measures are provided below and shown on the plan:
