Brookfield Healthy School Street

Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation and commented here on the changes we trialled. We now have all the permanent changes in place You can read the monitoring report at the end of this page 

During September and October 2022 we consulted on whether to make the trial Healthy School Street on Croftdown Road permanent. We have now decided to make the following permanent changes:

• The Healthy School Street motor vehicle restrictions on Croftdown Road. The scheme restricts non-exempt motor vehicles between 8.15am – 9.15am and 3pm – 4pm, Monday to Friday during term time only.

• The closure of one arm of the St Albans Road – Croftdown Road triangle junction. The planters will be replaced with permanent street greening.

• Newly installing two bike hangars on the road outside Brookfield 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.
