Purpose

This report seeks approval from the Chief Engineer to implement
changes to Camley Street as outlined in Section 2 of this report.
This includes the installation of a Santander cycle hire docking
station with 18 docking points on the pavement opposite 102 Camley
Street. The proposal also includes some minor parking changes on
Camley Street including the introduction of double yellow lines
adjacent to 101 Camley Street. The proposals aim to provide a
sustainable and healthy alternative mode of transport to motor
vehicles, enabling more cycling journeys to be undertaken by
residents and visitors to the Borough, and contributing to the
Camden Transport Strategy and Cycling Action Plan objectives and
targets to increase cycling.
 
A public consultation on the Santander Docking Station element
of the proposals detailed in this report was undertaken from 24th
November 2023 to 15th December 2023.
 
The report follows a consideration of relevant policies and the
public consultation on the proposals. The proposals meet the
objectives of We Make Camden by helping create clean, vibrant, and
sustainable places and making it easier for people to travel by
active modes of transport, which would help to encourage residents
and visitors to cycle more instead of driving motor vehicles or
using public transport. This would in turn contribute to improving
air quality and helping lower carbon emissions in the borough.
