    This is a great idea and will transform Camden if we can push it through. I’m sure Cllr Wright will be supportive. However, not all residents will be in favour – although we all complain about the volume of traffic, there will be some who won’t want to change their habits and accept restrictions on car movements during the peak hours. It’s a trade-off and there are bound to be those who consider that the disbenefits will outweigh the benefits. It will be interesting to see the reaction from B&NES officers. Personally I can’t wait. Bring it on! And well done to the CRA for pushing this forward.

      Thanks, Julie. Exciting to get get such wholehearted support. The CAZ must be about to put cameras on our street anyway so why not programme them to be a busgate rather than ‘waving through’ virtually all the traffic a CAZ C won’t exclude – if that makes sense? As for residents not liking it – we’ve started honing the arguments – for a small amount of occasional inconvenience you get a quieter, safer, more beautiful street, is that not worth gunning for?

    I completely support the idea of a low traffic neighbourhood. Having spoken to others, if the walk was less hazardous and felt less polluted, more would walk to St Stephens, St Saviours and Atelier Nursery.

    I’m sure you are right, Rachel.
