Hopefield Avenue NW6 Traffic Management Improvements

In June 2021 the Council received petition from residents of Summerfield Avenue and Dudley Road requesting the Council to introduce measures to stop traffic coming to their streets from Kingswood Avenue.

The petitioners requested the Council to find an urgent solution to the rat-run traffic that passes through Summerfield Avenue and Dudley Road.  They said that they support a proposal for a no left turn into Summerfield Avenue from Kingswood 7am – 10am as the minimum measure required but also requested other options are explored such as a no-entry to Summerfield from Kingswood, if traffic assessments indicate this would be necessary and most effective.

Following discussions with ward councillors and officers’ assessments of traffic surveys, it was agreed to consult residents and businesses of Summerfield Avenue to find their views on proposals to ban traffic except cycles entering Summerfield Avenue from Kingswood Avenue during 7-10am, Monday to Friday. It was also agreed that residents and businesses of Montrose Avenue and Hopefield Avenue be consulted on similar intervention.

The consultation analysis will take into consideration responses from households inside the consultation area, whether returned by post/online & summarise responses received from outside the area.
