Scheme Construction and Experimental Traffic Management Orders

Following the scheme update leaflet sent to the local community in June 2023, we have

finalised the scheme design and will now progress to the construction stage of the scheme.

This will also include advertising the Experimental Traffic Management Orders (ETMOs) to

legally enable the traffic management and parking changes to be installed. ETMOs last for a

maximum period of 18 months and the first six months form a further Statutory Consultation

period during which comments can be provided by the community on the changes under

‘live’ conditions. Before the 18-month period has finished we must make a decision on

whether to make the changes permanent or not, considering any feedback received

alongside the traffic monitoring we intend to undertake regularly during the experimental

period.

The scheme will be delivered in various construction stages, which has already started with

carriageway resurfacing in Brettenham Avenue and Brettenham Road in early September

2023, and will be followed by installation of the modal filters (road closures for motorised

vehicles) and school streets revisions in October 2023. We will then implement the final

elements of the scheme that will include the remaining traffic management and traffic

calming improvements, public realm improvements and planting elements of the scheme

from November 2023 onwards. The local community will receive further construction

notification letters before construction starts in each area.

Further information regarding the School Streets scheme will be sent to the school

community and residents living within the School Streets zone.

The ETMO process for the modal filters will start when the modal filters and school streets

elements have been implemented in October 2023; and we would like to receive

your feedback on the scheme during the Statutory Consultation period.

Statutory Consultation will start on 23 October 2023 and will be open for comments during

the first six months of the experimental process until 24 April 2024.

Following the ETMO process, we will analyse the responses and include suggestions where

possible.

If you would like to send any comments, please email the Enjoy Waltham Forest Team

quoting “LP+HH - ETMO Comments” in the subject line of the email; and send it to the email
