HARINGEY U-TURN OVER MUSWELL HILL ROUNDABOUT

16.6.03

Haringey Council has admitted to problems with the controversial new road layout at Muswell Hill roundabout and are seeking funding to make changes, according to information received by Muswell Hill councillor Lynne Featherstone.

Ms Featherstone had complained that the new carriageway at the top of the hill was not wide enough for three lanes of traffic and this was causing a danger on the hill. Haringey have said that they are “currently seeking the funding required to modify the changes, probably by converting back to two lanes and improving pedestrian safety. To obtain TfL funding we will require a safety audit.”

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“Pedestrians crossing Muswell Hill at the Muswell Hill roundabout have always been at risk. As part of a project which is meant to improve the environment and safety for pedestrians, increasing traffic lanes from two to three was madness. I am glad the Council is now trying to get this dangerous 'error' corrected.”
