Covent Garden Neighbourhood Traffic Management scheme

Westminster City Council and the London Borough of Camden worked 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.

Have your say and help shape the future of your community.
