Transport for LondonBackground
Successive governments had not, however, provided the necessary funds to build the scheme.
In 2000, Transport for London inherited responsibility for the A406 North Circular Road from the Highways Agency. Following a re-assessment by TfL of the scheme against the objectives in the Mayor's Transport Strategy, it was determined that the larger scheme would not be built, and that TfL should instead develop proposals for a smaller scheme to improve the safety and environment of the road for all road users.
Public consultation
In the summer of 2002 TfL conducted a public consultation on a safety and environmental improvement scheme for this section of the road.
TfL has amended the design of the scheme in response to the concerns local people expressed during that consultation.
Scheme changes
The specific changes made to the scheme since 2002 include:
- Increased capacity at the key junctions along the scheme
- Updated plans for road closures and banned turns on and off the A406 North Circular Road to improve road safety
- Extra funding provided to local boroughs (now £4m) to develop traffic management and traffic calming proposals for side streets
