The project will look to replace the roundabout connecting Tottenham Lane with Ferme Park Road with a new signalled controlled junction. This follows the financial injection from Transport for London (TfL) to assess the feasibility of the co-designed proposal.
As part of resident engagement last year, 80% considered the roundabout dangerous or very dangerous and 90% highlighted it as a problem junction.
Cllr Seema Chandwani, Cabinet Member for Resident Services & Tackling Inequality, said: “It’s not just about listening to our residents but more importantly taking action to address their concerns and prioritising the safety of our community.
“We made it a priority to join forces with TfL to make this happen and this underscores our commitment to enhancing safety measures across the borough.
“Traffic signals play a critical role in ensuring road safety and maintaining the functionality of our road networks. Therefore, this substantial amount of funding will go a long way to improving our borough and investing in its future.”
Working closely with TfL who manage and maintain all traffic signals in Haringey, the council will look to present a suitable new design by Autumn 2024 to replace the roundabout, and engage with residents and stakeholders towards the end of the year to hear their views on the proposals.
Providing residents and stakeholders are happy with the outcome, additional funding will be secured, and the installation of the new signal junction is anticipated to commence by May 2025.
