I would like to see more of Camen's roads made safer and more pleasant for people instead of cars.

More natural greenery needs to be added to there area & much more done to prevent littering around the existing plants next to St Patrick’s school (much of which is McDonald’s litter - perhaps they could provide recycling bins & incentivise their customers to use them!!). Also disappointed to see St Patrick’s school chose to use fake plastic ‘grass like’ material to cover the fence where they extended their playground where the house used to be. Plastic debris from this ‘grass’ will end up down drains & in rivers & seas creating micro plastics. Primary school children should be taught about how bad this is for the environment & the school should be setting a good example. Similarly the new houses in the converted Welfare building on the corner of Raglan Street are also using plastic ‘hedges’ on their railings. None of these things are good for either pollution or climate change.

I agree, an LTN is the best outcome to protect people in this area – residents and passersby alike – and also to lessen congestion on the highstreet. It seems to be a no-brainer to bloc off Holmes Road at the junction with Kentish Town Rd. Like the neighbouring streets, Holmes Rd is just an ordinary residential street, narrow and not made for the amount of traffic it has increasingly endured. The Healthy Street scheme is a timely reminder of this – and heaven for me: I live on Holmes Rd, and I go to school from here every day. During the unrestricted hours, Holmes Rd is still very much hell. The healthy street scheme needs to extended to the french school – there, too, the situation is dangerous during drop off and pick up times. The Veolia and Council vans that enter Holmes Road from the Veolia Depot plus parents that madly rush to the school are a toxic mix with an accident waiting to happen. I have myself experienced how dangerous it is to cycle along that stretch of Holmes or Willies Road when competing with school parents for a bit of the road. In addition, to protect us school children and residents alike from excessive air pollution due to idling (UPS and Camden) vans and cars and cruising drug dealers, double yellow lines should be introduced, plus a few more parking spots for local residents and businesses. Add ample green, and this road could become a major route for foot traffic, for scooter and bike riders. Easy peasy!
