Newham & Waltham Forest Low Traffic Neighbourhood - Works start in Area 1 on Monday 17 August

We would like to announce that on Monday 17 August we will start works in Area 1 of the Newham and Waltham Forest Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) . These works will introduce new modal filters in the area by placing large wooden planters on certain roads. This is part of the joint-borough commitment to prevent traffic from cutting through this area, and as a result aims to create better street environments for walking and cycling, and for social distancing.

As well as the wooden planters, we will also be placing new traffic signs and road markings to reflect the new road layout. For more information on the exact locations of modal filters visit 'A detailed explanation of the scheme' section on our website.

Area 1 is bounded by Crownfield Road, Leytonstone Road and Leyton Road, and as it falls mainly within the London Borough of Newham, their appointed contractor, Ringway Jacobs, will be carrying out the works on their behalf. We estimate that these works will take approximately five days to complete, subject to weather conditions. During this time, there may be some disruption, although we will try to minimise this as far as possible. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience while we carry out the works.

For any questions or issues regarding the works please contact the Ringway Jacobs contact centre on 0844 967 1611 or email LiveableNeighbourhoods@newham.gov.uk
