Draft design for permanent modal filter on Colgrave Road – we want to hear what you think
The Maryland people-friendly streets scheme was made permanent in January 2022. As part of this scheme, there is a modal filter on Colgrave Road, which helps prevent motorised vehicles from using local streets as a cut-through. Currently, this modal filter is a simple wooden planter box, which was suitable for the experimental people-friendly streets scheme. Now that the scheme is permanent, there is an opportunity to create a modal filter which enhances the look and feel of Colgrave Road.
We have created a design for the Colgrave Road modal filter (see below).

We have created a design for the Colgrave Road modal filter (see other side of the page). Should you have any questions please e-mail liveableneighbourhoods@newham.gov.uk. The statutory consultation will run from 20 May 2026 to the 8 June 2026
Feedback in-person
Project officers will be on-site at the Colgrave Road modal filter on Tuesday 2 June from 2:00pm to 6:00pm to meet local people and discuss the proposed permanent modal filter. This is another opportunity to ask questions and see the design in more detail.
