Atherton LTN
The Atherton Low Traffic Neighbourhood is now a permanent scheme, as decided by Newham Cabinet in September 2022.
The Council is now seeking your views on improving the design of the modal filter on Keogh Road (see image below), converting a temporary wooden planter box to a permanent design. Modal filters prevent motor vehicles from driving through residential areas using CCTV enforcement, while allowing pedestrians, cyclists, emergency vehicles and waste collection vehicles to pass through.
To provide your feedback on in this survey, please visit https://newhamco-create.co.uk/en/projects/athertonltn
Future improvements could include:
- Upgrading the modal filters that are currently made of wooden planter boxes
- Improving footways and crossings to reduce motor vehicle turning speeds and reinforce pedestrian priority at side road junctions
- Increasing green infrastructure across the area, particularly where it can contribute to speed reduction
- Assessing and improving wheeled accessibility across the area (et.g. dropped kerbs)
- Creating a safer environment on Earlham Grove, outside the school, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up
- Introducing a 20mph speed limit on boundary roads and adjacent residential streets.
