Cameras will soon replace planters in enforcing low traffic restrictions in Upper Norwood and Crystal Place. The areas’ Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) Streetspace scheme will also be adjusted to give permits for staff at Cypress Primary School and Harris City Academy, and to allow access for people who have a disability badge.
Certain vehicles such as taxis
, special education vehicles and emergency vehicles will also be allowed access.
The decision was announced on February 24 by Councillor Muhammed Ali, cabinet member of sustainable Croydon.
He said the current LTN would be changed to fit the recommendations asked to be made by residents. The changes will also resolve issues that were brought up in the January council meeting that included access to Auckland surgery. The access will be made possible by relocating the current bus gate location and adding two extra disabled parking areas.
