Winchester Rd/Fellows Road pedestrian safety





Someone came to my advice surgery at the community centre this morning to make an important road safety point that had escaped me. Due to the construction of the new "Winchester Place" development on Winchester Road (whatever you may think of this planning decision), pedestrians have no pavement on one side of Fellows Road and many are walking in the road. This is clearly not at all safe, I am not sure how the developers were able to square this with Camden, and I am going to take it up with officers. It may not be easy to solve, as putting a ring of plastic bollards in the street to create a temporary pavement would effectively reduce the road to one way. But from walking around there today, it is clearly a significant danger to pedestrians. I'll report back with any news.
