South Leytonstone Low Traffic Neighbourhood Scheme
Waltham Forest Council is committed to creating people friendly streets and neighbourhoods that actively encourage walking, cycling and using public transport. That’s why we’ve spent the past 18 months developing and submitting funding bids to the Transport for London (TfL) Liveable Neighbourhoods programme for improvements in South Leytonstone, as well as Forest Gate and Maryland in partnership with the London Borough of Newham (LBN).
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there is an even more urgent need to improve London’s streets for walking and cycling, to reduce pressure on our road and public transport networks. With London’s public transport capacity currently significantly reduced, millions of journeys a day need to be completed by other modes of transport. If these are replaced by car journeys, streets will become heavily congested, air quality will reduce, and road danger will increase. In some places we are already seeing traffic levels increase above pre Covid-19 levels.
We partnered up with LBN to introduce an experimental Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) in August 2020 in the Forest Gate, Maryland and South Leytonstone areas. This area is referred to as Area 1 and Area 2 and is bounded by Crownfield Road, Cann Hall Road, Dames Road, Woodgrange Road, Forest Lane, Leytonstone Road and Leyton Road.
In October 2020, we extended this scheme further in South Leytonstone into the areas bounded by Ferndale Road, Montague Road, Harrow Road, Cann Hall Road, Crownfield Road, High Road Leyton, the A12 and Cathall Road (which we are referring to as Area 3 and Area 4).
