The Commonplace engagement survey, which has been available on this page during the trial scheme, is now closed. Following the consultation we have decided to implement the changes permanently. You can read the monitoring report at the end of this page You can read the decision report here and this page will be updated shortly with more information on the final changes.
What was the issue on Minster Road?
The Mulberry House School on Minster Road suffered with parking issues, congestion, road danger and poor air quality outside the school, making it unsafe for the school community.
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.
How have we responded to this challenge?
Minster Road outside The Mulberry House School is temporarily closed to traffic at school drop off and pick up times in the morning and afternoon. between 8:00am - 9:00am and 3pm - 4pm, Monday to Friday during term time only.
