Kentish Town Healthy School Street

What is happening now?

Following a consultation we have now made the decision to make the following changes permanent:

  • The Healthy School Street motor vehicle restrictions on Islip Street. The scheme restricts non-exempt motor vehicles between 8.15am – 9.15am and 3pm – 4pm, Monday to Friday during term time only.
  • Newly extending the restricted area to start at the junction with Kentish Town Road. This will mean that this further section of Islip Street along with Frideswide Place and Wolsey Mews (to the junction with Caversham Road) will become part of the timed restriction area. Residents living within this area will be eligible to apply for an exemption.
  • The year round timed waiting restrictions on Wolsey Mews (between the junction of Islip Street and Caversham Road) between 8.15am – 9.15am and 3pm – 4pm, Monday to Friday
  • The pavement widening outside the school with an extension of 10.7 metres further to the east and widening the pavement at the junction of Hammond Street and Islip Street.
  • Newly relocating two car club bays from Islip Street to Caversham Road.
  • The northbound ‘at all times’ motor vehicle restriction on Hammond Street. The planters will be replaced with a permanent planted area with the ability to absorb road surface water.
  • Installing two new bike hangars on the road outside 19 Islip Street, 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 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.
