Lib Dem London Assembly member Lynne Featherstone has welcomed assurances from Transport for London that it will seek to work with Islington and Haringey councils to keep buses and other traffic moving in Stroud Green Road N4.

The route is a busy bus route for residents in Crouch End and Muswell Hill travelling to the Tube at Finsbury Park and is often congested with parked vehicles.

Ms Featherstone has been pressing TfL for action, and says that the attention of the London authorities on the road, which forms the borough boundary between Islington and Haringey, is much needed.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I am pleased that TfL has decided to work with the two local councils over the issue. While Islington is generally better than Haringey at enforcement measures along the road, more action is needed to keep the road clear for buses and remove illegally parked cars. It is a vital bus corridor for this part of London.”
