The Camden authority and Islington Council have proposed creating a 'healthy neighbourhood' in Dartmouth Park, which would involve restricting street traffic. While some residents welcome this as a long-overdue initiative aimed at promoting safety and health, others, particularly community groups, express concerns about increasing congestion on alternative routes. After gathering substantial feedback from the community, the council has decided to reassess the proposal within a broader Transport Strategy, emphasizing a commitment to active travel and public transport improvements in the area.
"Here in Camden, we always listen to the people who live, work and travel in an area when we suggest changes. Because of the feelings and observations you shared we are going back to the drawing board."
"Achieving safe and healthy streets for everyone requires well-planned, evidence-based solutions. We welcome the commitment to including consideration of the surrounding streets as well as the streets within the defined area."
