Dartmouth Park Area Healthy Neighbourhood
Find out more about the Dartmouth Park Area Healthy Neighbourhood and how you can have your say.
Islington Council and Camden Council are working in partnership to create a healthy neighbourhood for the Dartmouth Park area. This healthy neighbourhood aims to make the area greener, healthier and more pleasant to spend time in, making it easier to walk, wheel and cycle.
The development of proposals for the healthy neighbourhood is planned over three phases:
- Phase 1: Early engagement (between September and November 2023) to gather ideas from local people on where and how you think we could improve streets and public spaces in the Dartmouth Park area.
- Phase 2: Co-design to get local people’s feedback on proposals for the Dartmouth Park Area Healthy Neighbourhood.
- Phase 3: Formal public consultation on proposed designs.
We are currently in phase 2 of this process, the co-design phase, which will last until Sunday 18 August 2024.
What you have told us so far
You have told us that you would like to see measures that:
- restrict through-traffic movement and calm traffic
- support walking, wheeling and cycling in the area.
You also shared concerns about:
- local traffic volumes
- fast moving traffic in the area
- local air quality.
Your feedback on these proposals will help to shape the improvements we are proposing for the Dartmouth Park Area Healthy Neighbourhood.
