Covent Garden Neighbourhood Traffic Management scheme
Consultation description
Westminster City Council and the London Borough of Camden are working together to deliver a Neighbourhood Traffic Management (NTM) scheme in Covent Garden.
The scheme aims to enhance the area for residents, businesses, pedestrians and cyclists by reducing motorised traffic, cutting carbon emissions, improving air quality, encouraging cycling and walking, enhancing the public realm and supporting local businesses. The scheme was developed following a series of meetings and conversations with residents and business groups in Covent Garden, to ensure it addresses local traffic issues and benefits those that visit, work and live in the area.
Following consultation with local stakeholders, Camden Council and Westminster City Council have made the decision to implement the changes on a trial basis using an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO) for up to 18 months. The approved scheme includes several changes suggested by local residents, businesses and organisations.
Throughout the trial period you can give your feedback on the changes by visiting Commonplace.
At the end of the trial, Camden and Westminster will review the comments and data collected and take a decision on whether the scheme will become permanent.
We have also undertaken consultation on the future of al fresco dining in Covent Garden. Read more about al fresco dining proposals.
Outcome of the consultation
Following a joint consultation with the London Borough of Camden, 66% of people have given their support in making the Covent Garden Traffic Management Scheme permanent.
Our main aim of the scheme was to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists, restricting vehicles to encourage walking, and to make the area feel safe. For local businesses this will also create a more pleasant experience for shops, restaurants, and outdoor dining.
The changes made permanent by the scheme will also be better for the environment and air quality, by reducing pollution and traffic congestion.
