The borough has already invested in a bike lane for the entire length of green lanes which is barely ever used by cyclists.
Now, between 8-9 roads I. Our immediate area are blocked or have restrictions in place to prevent cars (including disabled road users in motability cars) from driving through roads which we have always used.
Bambos Charalambous MP for Enfield advised this is due to the “healthy streets” scheme by the council who have not sent any letters to residents before installing this changes to the roads with consultation due to start on October 12th despite already installing these without the consultation of us residents.
Stopping free moving cars from driving through roads means they are now diverted into huge lengthy traffic jams on main roads which are now worse than ever and the constant stop and start is releasing far greater emissions when there is zero need to do this.
Regarding “quieter roads”, people who live in london should never expect the quiet life that the countryside can offer and we shouldn’t be forced to change our local way of life for the few residents who want a quiet road. They should also look at moving to ovations on private roads where they won’t be faced with free moving cars.
Give us back our roads, stop discriminating against the elderly, sick and disabled who cannot walk/cycle and are now banned from using these 9 roads indefinitely because of this utterly appalling healthy street scheme.
