LOW TRAFFIC NEIGHBOURHOODS Charles Road

As part of Merton’s Low Traffic Neighbourhood programme, we have been successful in obtaining funding for the introduction of a LTN, aimed at removing rat running and to encourage safe walking and cycling on Charles Road in the Abby area.
The proposal include a non-physical road closure in Charles Road at its junction with Rutlish Road, with planter boxes narrowing the carriageway to warn motorists.
An Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera will enforce the proposed measures. Access for the emergency services, authorised service vehicles and cycles will not be affected. 

Following the consultation the Cabinet Member decided that the project should not go ahead. Please see the final report and decision document for details.
