Road improvements: changes to Browning Road

Road improvements: changes to Browning Road

We are proposing to change the entry point to Browning Road from High Road Leytonstone by introducing a ‘modal filter’ at this point, which will only allow pedestrians and cycles to pass through. Modal filters usually include putting trees and bollards in place to stop vehicles from ‘cutting-through’, whilst helping people on foot and bike, particularly children and older people, to get about safely and easily.

We want this change to reduce the amount of non-local traffic outside your home and to encourage people to use this street more freely. To enable this change and to help services and deliveries access the area, we will remove the existing ‘No Entry’ near the junction with Beacontree Road and make Browning Road two-way for its entire length. This will allow residents and service vehicles to access Browning Road via Bush Road.

• A new pedestrian friendly public space with trees and greenery
• A new blended ‘Copenhagen’ style crossing to help people who walk and cycle get about along High Road Leytonstone
• Cycle parking to make it easier to get to and visit local businesses.
