Moreland Primary School consultation

The School Street trial at Pooles Park Primary School was suspended on 5 December 2020 indefinitely, due to safety concerns.

The location of the School Street was creating parking pressure on Lennox Road, where the secondary entrance to the school is, and a key walking route. Current traffic arrangements in the area do not allow the council to include Lennox Road to the School Street zone without creating significant diversion routes. Therefore, in consultation with the School, the decision was made to end the trial. 

As a result, pre-consultation counts were not carried out, and subsequently the location was excluded from the School Streets phase 1 consultation monitoring report.

When will changes begin?

The traffic filter will start operating on 25 September 2023. It will be enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Blue Badge holders living north of Mackenzie Road to Caledonian Road to the west and Holloway Road to the east, and Hornsey Street to the north will be automatically exempt. If you think you should be exempt but have not received a letter from the council, please email PFSBlueBadge@islington.gov.uk.

Why these changes are being made

In January 2023, we consulted local residents, businesses and the Sacred Heart Primary School community on creating a safer and more pleasant area around the school gate as well as introducing a traffic filter on the junction of Georges Road with Eden Grove.

The council collected traffic data in the area in December 2022. There were high levels of cut-through traffic in the area and several collisions.

As a result of the consultation and traffic data, we decided to implement a trial traffic filtered School Street.

Process and objection period

The traffic filter will be introduced as an 18-month trial by an experimental traffic order (ETO). Once the ETO comes into force, there is a six-month objection period.

A formal objection must be in writing and must state the grounds on which it is made. You can make an objection between 7 July 2023 and 6 January 2024 by email to environment@islington.gov.uk or by post to Environment, 1 Cottage Road, London, N7 8TP.

Please note that that any formal objection submitted may become a public document and could be published.

School Street extension

The suggestion of extending the existing School Street at Whitehall Park School was first raised in the public consultation on making the School Street permanent in September 2021. The School Street extension into Dresden Road addresses road danger concerns by removing any traffic or additional parking on Dresden Road during the School Street hours when the street is most used by people walking and cycling to school. 

To ensure that you can have your say on how the measures are working, we have chosen to implement the extension on a trial basis, under an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO). An Experimental Traffic Order (ETO) is like a permanent Traffic Regulation Order in that it is a legal document that imposes traffic and parking restrictions. However, unlike a Traffic Regulation Order an ETO can only stay in force for a maximum of 18 months while the effects are monitored and assessed. An ETO is made under Sections 9 and 10 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Once an ETO comes into force there is a six month period in which objections can be made. If the ETO is subsequently modified, objections can be made in the six months following from the date of the changes. You can read more about how to make a formal objection on our Frequently Asked Questions page, under the question 'What is an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO)?'
