‘Traffic down 56 per cent in the area, speeding down 78 per cent, cycling up 72 per cent’

• ST PETER’S people-friendly streets policy has been a huge success, it provides a snapshot of how we can change Islington for the better.

Some key statistics:

— traffic down 56 per cent in the area, speeding down 78 per cent, cycling up 72 per cent;

— boundary roads traffic down 1 per cent (despite the continued road works and road closures all over Islington by the G network fibre changes); and

— no impact on emergency services’ response times.

We might not all have a people-friendly streets programme yet but we know they are coming and we can now see proof that they are a huge success.

Let’s make sure we support our neighbours to maintain theirs so that they can support the rest of the borough in getting theirs.

I encourage everyone who wants less traffic on our streets, better air quality, and a healthier population to give the St Peter’s consultation your full support.
