Background 1.1 History of the proposal The median strip (central reservation strip) at the junction of Clapton Terrace with the A107 Clapton Common was originally planned to be included in a package of works along the A107 Clapton Common to improve road safety and access to local amenities. Following consultation with London Borough of Hackney (LBH) and other local stakeholders, the measures were recently implemented, from spring 2012 onwards. Following a number of objections the median strip was not delivered as planned as part of the package of works. The median strip is intended to physically prevent „rat running‟ traffic from turning right from Clapton Common into Clapton Terrace. The proposal was initially identified by LBH following engagement with local residents as part of a “Sustrans DIY Streets project”. Measures on Clapton Terrace were implemented in 2009 by the Council, and as the median strip was on the TLRN, a formal request was made to TfL by the Council to incorporate it into its package of improvements for Clapton Common. TfL agreed to this request on the basis that it was supported by the local community and would have a negligible impact on traffic movements. However, when TfL engaged with the local ward councillors, TfL were informed that there was opposition to the median strip from people living in the area surrounding Clapton Terrace, as residents in Braydon Road and users of the local Bobov Community Centre were concerned about the impact of any displaced traffic onto nearby streets. A petition in support of the scheme was submitted to TfL from the Clapton Terrace residents, while petitions objecting to the scheme were subsequently received from residents in the surrounding roads and from users of the community centre. During discussions as to whether the scheme should proceed or not, TfL has communicated with both supporters and objectors, and has held several meetings with local representatives, including council officers, a GLA member and ward councillors. Subsequently, the Mayor, Boris Johnson, requested that TfL put the median strip phase of works on hold and asked that a comprehensive consultation be undertaken with all relevant parties who feel either positively or negatively impacted by the proposal. 1.2 Scheme objective The objective of the scheme is to prevent vehicles using the Terrace as a through route and alleviate „rat-running‟. In addition the scheme seeks to address crossing issues on Clapton Common by providing an informal refuge crossing. 1.3 Description of the proposals: The proposal includes: Installation of a „Median Strip‟ on Clapton Common at Clapton Terrace, restricting movements into and out of Clapton Terrace to „left turn out‟ and „left turn in‟ 3 A107 Clapton Common consultation report Transport for London An informal (uncontrolled) crossing point on Clapton Terrace Dropped accessible kerb lines improving safety for pedestrians wishing to cross the road. 2. Consultation 2.1 Scheme design drawing See design drawing below sent to stakeholders and residents as part of the consultation. 2.2 Consultation letter A consultation letter was used to inform local stakeholders and residents about the safety improvement scheme and to seek their views on the proposals set out within it. Letters were sent on the 15 November 2012 and responses were asked for by the 21 December 2012. (A copy of the consultation letter is included at the back of this report under Appendix A). 4 A107 Clapton Common consultation report Transport for London 2.3 Who did we inform about the scheme? Letters were sent to local ward councillors, the local MP, London Borough of Hackney transport officers, local police, the London Cycling Campaign and residents in the immediate vicinity. (See stakeholder contacts spreadsheet under Appendix D in the back of this report). 3. Results of the consultation 3.1 Overall responses Proportionately there were more objections to the scheme than responses in support. Out of forty three stakeholders consulted, seven provided responses. LBH is supportive of the scheme as is the Clapton Terrace Residents Association (CTRA) and St Thomas‟ Church on Clapton Terrace. However two of the local ward councillors (Cllrs Levy and Steinberger) have objected as has Cllr Papier, who is a Hackney councillor for New River ward, but lives in the area., 200 responses were received from members of the public. The main themes emerging from respondents were: In favour: Traffic on Clapton Terrace would be calmed and through traffic in the area would be prevented from using the street as a short cut (rat running) The crossing on Clapton Common is much needed and welcomed Not in favour: The proposal is a waste of public money It will create an increase of traffic in other local roads It will be harder for emergency service vehicles to access Clapton Terrace 3.2 Individual stakeholder responses London Borough of Hackney In 2007 funding was secured from Sustrans for a DIY Streets community project in Clapton Terrace. The project was prioritised due to a number of local traffic and public realm related issues including, but not limited to, refuse storage, rat running traffic and speeding. Following the principles set out in the DIY Streets project development process, Officers met with residents on a regular basis to clarify the main issues and help develop solutions in conjunction with the local residents. The measures put forward included: Entrance surface treatments Raised speed tables Planting trees Installation of communal rubbish and recycling bins Median Strip on Clapton Common. 5 A107 Clapton Common consultation report Transport for London The first measures were successfully implemented as part of the scheme. The DIY Streets process with pro-active resident participation, has led to a greater sense of community ownership and residents now meet on a regular basis for social activity. From September 2007 onwards 17 meetings were held during the design and consultation phases of the project, local councillors were invited to attend these meetings but generally declined. In addition, 11 newsletters were distributed to local residents throughout the course of the project providing an update on progress. A final design meeting was held with local residents in August 2009 where agreement was sought on final proposals to be taken through to implementation. Most of the improvements were introduced in November 2009 and the scheme is generally considered a success by the community. Sustrans have commended the scheme as an excellent example of residents engagement and how a successful scheme can be developed and shaped with residents' involvement. It is now used as best practice in other authorities. The final element of the scheme is the introduction of the median strip on Clapton Common, primarily to stop south bound traffic turning right from Clapton Common into Clapton Terrace which is a cut through to Oldhill Street for residents in the wider area. The alternative route would be direct via Clapton Common/Oldhill Street junction and represents no increase in journey distance or time for users. This element of the project was supported by 85% of residents who attended the design meetings. When the median strip was not installed as part of the implementation phase in 2009 as planned, residents expressed concern that the scheme had not delivered its full potential. The Council later received a petition on 5 September 2010 from residents of Clapton Terrace with 44 signatories re- iterating their support for the median strip, asking for it to be implemented as soon as possible, confirming "rat running" as an on going issue. The introduction of the median strip will reduce the number of rat running along Clapton Terrace therefore improving the environment of people living, working and visiting the area. The reduction in traffic volumes, noise and C02 emissions, as well as improved safety will be of particular benefit to local residents and children in particular. The construction of the median strip forms as integral part of the project that was consulted upon and agreed with local residents and is required to ensure all the benefits are realised. As a result of the above the L.B of Hackney supports the introduction of the median strip. Councillor Steinberger (Springfield ward) Clapton Terrace is a road like every road and there is no reason why they should close the entry from Clapton Common to the Terrace on the left side coming from Tottenham. Why does such a small road which has only 20 houses think they need to send their traffic on to the surrounding roads which would include my road, Portland Avenue? We have too much traffic of our own.
