Local Green councillor Lana Reid-McConnell has been working as part of the Victoria Park Area Partnership to identify infrastructure improvements in the local area. Road safety at Thornwood Roundabout has been a particular concern and improved crossings and traffic slowing measures should be introduced in the coming months.
Local groups and community councils are also discussing how to make the roundabout more welcoming including colourful footways and crossings, street art on the expressway pillars, improved street lighting, and planting that provides both visual benefits and helps with mitigating air pollution.
Lana said:
“By making large junctions safer for walkers, wheelers and cyclers, we can support active travel ambitions and connectivity to neighbouring areas. I’m also looking forward to seeing the plans from community groups and continuing to support their visions to come to life.”
