Changes have been made to some of the contentious ‘Streetspace’ schemes in Harrow following concerns raised around access for emergency services.
Harrow Council confirmed some roadblocks, which form part of low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) measures in Headstone South and Vaughan Road, would be altered to allow emergency vehicles to pass.
It is also removing part of a pop-up cycle lane in Honeypot Lane to allow easier access to Stanmore Fire Station.
The Streetspace programme, implemented using funding from Transport for London, allowed the council to make road changes to assist with the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and encourage active travel.
