Purpose

This report seeks approval from
the Director of Environment and Sustainability, following
consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and a Sustainable
Camden, to make permanent the trial Healthy School Streets (HSS)
scheme for West Hampstead Primary School covering Ravenshaw Street,
Broomsleigh Street, Dornfell Street and Glastonbury
Street.  The trial scheme was implemented under
an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO) which came into force on 24
August 2023 for up to 18 months, as part of Phase 5 of the
Council’s Healthy School Streets
programme. 
 
This decision report sets out the reasons it is proposed
to make the trial scheme permanent and the options available to the
decision maker. This report also includes a review of the public
engagement responses and feedback received during the trial period,
objections to the ETO and monitoring conducted during the trial
period which have informed officers’
recommendations.
 
This report follows the approved ‘Camden Transport
Strategy (CTS): Review of Progress since 2019 and Three Year
Delivery Programme for  2022/23 to 2024/25
(SC/2022/34)
report, and the Camden Transport Strategy Delivery Plan
2025-28 and Local Implementation Plan (SC/2024/32)
report.  These reports include delivery
plans for achieving goals set in the Camden Transport Strategy
which in turn seeks to deliver the outcomes set in the
Mayor’s Transport Strategy to create Healthy Streets –
streets where more people walk, cycle and use public
transport.  The proposals in this report align
with our key strategies and plans, including We Make Camden, the
CTS, the Climate Action Plan and Clean Air Action Plan.
