Argyle Healthy School Street

Healthy School Street now permanent

During September and October 2022 we consulted on whether to make the trial Healthy School Street, two way cycling as well as the addition of two bike hangars permanent. You can read the monitoring report at the end of this page Thank you to everyone who shared their views. We have now decided to make the following permanent changes:

• Healthy School Street motor vehicle restrictions on Bidborough Street, Hastings Street and Tonbridge Street between 8.15am – 9.15am and 3pm - 4pm, Monday to Friday term time only.

• Two way cycling on the same sections of the above streets.

• Installing two new bike hangars on Tonbridge Street (opposite Argyle Primary School) creating secure parking space for up to 12 standard bikes for local residents.

What was the issue?

The school 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, 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 our roads for those who need it the most.
