Atherton
The Atherton people-friendly streets project is now a permanent scheme, as decided by Newham Cabinet in September 2022.
Future improvements could include:
- Upgrading the modal filters that are currently made of wooden planter boxes
- Improving footways and crossings to reduce motor vehicle turning speeds and reinforce pedestrian priority at side road junctions
- Increasing green infrastructure across the area, particularly where it can contribute to speed reduction
- Assessing and improving wheeled accessibility across the area (et.g. dropped kerbs)
- Creating a safer environment on Earlham Grove, outside the school, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up
- Introducing a 20mph speed limit on boundary roads and adjacent residential streets.
