Traffic calming on Shepherd's Hill and a safe crossing on Wolseley Rd

Following information requests we have sent to Haringey Council, we can confirm that traffic monitoring has shown cars travelling over 60mph on both Wolseley Road and Shepherd’s Hill, and the average speed on both roads exceeding the limit by over 25%. We feel that such speeds are entirely unacceptable.

We have also been talking to residents about the lack of a pedestrian crossing towards the bottom of Wolseley Rd, at the junction with Park Rd. The lack of safe means to cross the road here is presenting a real danger to pedestrians, which only appears to have worsened since the installation of a raised junction.

At present, there is no safe way to cross Wolseley Road without walking up to the zebra crossing by the junction with Coolhurst Road.

We have been conducting a petition on your doorsteps to ensure Haringey Council take action on these issues. We have already reached many of you, but we want to ensure those we have yet to catch at home have the opportunity to sign, so if you would like to support our campaign and make sure Haringey Council do something about these issues, then please add your name below.

We, the undersigned, call for Haringey Council to investigate, and consult on, traffic calming measures on Shepherd's Hill and Wolseley Road, and a new pedestrian crossing on Wolseley Road between Clifton Road and Park Road.

Update: This petition has now closed and we have submitted it to Haringey Council with our requests

Update 2 (Spring 2022): We are delighted to confirm that Haringey Council have allocated funding for both schemes as part of their 2022-23 budget. We will post more info when we have it.

Update 3 (Autumn 2022): We have had confirmation that proposals will be confirmed by Christmas for both interventions.

Update 4 (Jan 2023): Haringey have released details of their consultations for both projects. Click here to find out more.
