Beattock Rise residents' success on traffic calming
Nine months after starting a campaign for safety measures on a road in Muswell Hill local residents and Liberal Democrats are celebrating the installation of new speed humps.
Residents living on Beattock Rise petitioned Haringey Council in September 2008 and were told in January 2009 that Haringey Council would take action to reduce the speed of traffic on the road. However, it was only after further enquiries by residents and local councillor Gail Engert that Haringey Council finally took action this month.
Cllr Gail Engert (Muswell Hill) comments:
“It has been a long fight for the residents of Beattock Rise but I am glad that our persistence has paid off. This small section of road has been an accident waiting to happen. Hopefully now pedestrians will be safer with speed humps to slow down cars.”
Lynne Featherstone MP adds:
“This is great news for the residents of Beattock Rise and a testament to pester power.”
