STOP CHINGFORD ROAD CLOSURES - ENDLEBURY ROAD AND THE RIDGEWAY
Stop a permanent linear closure at the junction of Endlebury Road and The Ridgeway
Stop a permanent linear closure in Heathcote Grove at the junction with Chingford Avenue
Stop a permanent linear closure in Heathcote Grove at the junction with Chingford Avenue
Why is this important?
Waltham Forest Council recently had written on their website that they are planning to perform road closures in the Chingford area to reduce movement across Chingford/Highams Park areas.
A linear closure at the junction of Endlebury Road and The Ridgeway, is inappropriate considering Endlebury Road used to have two entrances from The Ridgeway, now only one, with traffic calming measures put in place along Endlebury Road. And to now decide to completely permanently remove access at this end of Endlebury Road is inconvenient, unnecessary and unsuitable.
Residents and commuters would have to travel along the Ridgeway through The Green, Kings Road and Larkshall Road creating a build up of traffic in these already high traffic flow areas. To shorten this route Warren Road would be used as a cut through, which would be unsafe as it is a small residential road.
The road closure would make the Ridgeway less accessible to residents in Endlebury Road and neighbouring Roads such as Goldsborough Crescent.
Endlebury Road is a safe road and there is no need to cause further inconvenience to the residents of nearby roads and commuters in the Chingford area. It will not benefit to residents but instead will cause a new problem to deal with.
If there is an emergency such as a fire, emergency services will unable to access the Ridgeway end of Endlebury Road as fast as they could now, putting lives at risk for a closure that residents do not want.
It would also be a possibility that the land gained from the closure could be built upon e.g. Flats, Residential houses
MORE PROPOSED CLOSURES:
1. Linear closure in Heathcote Grove at the junction with Chingford Avenue
2. A diagonal closure at Ainslie Wood Road junction with Underwood Road and Inks Green
3. A linear closure at the junction of Beresford Road and Rangers Road
