Stoke Newington LTN
Two new traffic reduction schemes have recently been introduced in Stoke Newington:
Traffic filters are not new to Stoke Newington, and many streets have had filters for years or decades, including Queen's Drive, Statham Grove, Lavell St, Shakespeare Walk, and Queen Elizabeth's Walk.
Green Lanes cycling: Despite being a scaled down version of the original proposals, the cycle tracks will provide wand-separated lanes for cyclists between Petherton Road and Woodberry Grove, providing some safety from the heavy and often speeding traffic on Green Lanes. Work is now well under way and is due to complete in Spring 2021. We'll update on progress right here!
Church Street: The biggest change in Stoke Newington will be the proposed Church Street bus gate. The scheme has been approved, but is still awaiting confirmation of funding. The bus gate will in effect create a Stoke Newington LTN to the north and south of Church Street, by stopping through traffic between 7am and 7pm and by adding additional filters on surrounding roads.

- Walford Road - Nevill Road - Brighton Road. These roads suffered from serious rat-running as traffic diverted off/on the High Road (A10) but new traffic filters around Nevill Road stopped this and the area is now much quieter with less air pollution and many more people walking, cycling and scooting in the area.
- Clissold Crescent. A new filter was installed just off Church Street stopping traffic cutting through between Albion Road and Church Street. Both Clissold Crescent and Carysfort Road now enjoy cleaner air and quieter streets, with more people cycling and walking.
