Camden Council plans to initiate an 18-month trial to pedestrianise a segment of Camden High Street, receiving financial support from TfL. Following a consultation where 70% favored the proposal, the trial aims to alleviate the congestion experienced by up to 40,000 pedestrians during peak times. The changes will reroute buses, introduce contra-flow cycle lanes, and offer specific parking options for blue badge holders. Councillor Adam Harrison noted that the trial responds to public demand for safer, more enjoyable use of this iconic area, which is a key destination in London.
Camden Council is going to pedestrianise a section of Camden High Street for a trial period of up to 18 months, supported by £130,000 from TfL.
The trial is expected to enhance safety and reduce stress for the approximately 40,000 pedestrians who use the high street during peak times.
Councillor Adam Harrison emphasized that the high street's pedestrianisation addresses significant overcrowding and enhances the experience for visitors and residents alike.
The scheme aims to improve the iconic Camden Town area and support local businesses while managing the influx of visitors more effectively.
