Since the introduction of the LTN scheme in August, we have been carrying out regular site visits and reviewing feedback received from residents to address any issues and consider what improvements can be made.
This has included placing additional signage to help drivers navigate the area, installing more bollards to increase compliance at certain modal filter locations, and providing more information on the Commonplace website for particular areas of interest.
As part of our review of the scheme and in response to local feedback, we will be making some significant changes and will be installing additional modal filters in both Area 1 and Area 2 in the next few weeks.
There are three new modal filters for Area 1 on Edith Road, Dunmow Road and Pine Avenue to prevent drivers from using Colegrave Road as a cut through. Area 2 has been extended to include the area bounded by Sidney Road, Woodford Road, Bective Road and Dames Road, with two new modal filters on Forest Road and Bective Road close to their junctions with Woodford Road. More information on the new modal filters can be found on the ‘A detailed explanation of the scheme’ section.
We had already identified the potential need for a number of additional modal filters, prior to launching the LTN scheme in August, but were not in a position to progress these at the time as we were still reviewing design options. However, we have since progressed our designs and have also received a considerable number of comments through the Commonplace consultation website regarding traffic congestion and road safety, and requests to address issues at these locations.
Similar to the other modal filters already in place, these will be installed on an experimental basis for 6-18 months, and you can share your views on the interactive map , which has been updated to include the new modal filters.
Residents in the immediate vicinity of the modal filters will receive a Construction Notification Letter before works begin.
Area 3 & 4 in Waltham Forest
As part of our original bids to TfL for funding, the LTN also included proposals for the area north of Cann Hall Road and Crownfield Road (known as Area 3 and Area 4). Unfortunately, at the time of introducing measures in Area 1 and Area 2 Waltham Forest did not have funding to introduce the full scheme. However, since then Waltham Forest Council has secured funding from TfL’s London Streetscape Plan (LSP) to deliver the full scheme.
