I’ve received notice from the Council that Streetcar are planning to put 3 new cars into Stroud Green. This is excellent news as I know lots of residents are making very active use of the car club and are keen for new sites.
The proposed locations are:
- The Oakfield Road Bridge (when the current engineering works have finished)
- Nelson Road, near the junction with Ridge Road (see photo)
- Osbourne Road, near the junction with Victoria Road
The formal consultation is planned for February, but if you have any views on these locations then please get in touch and I’ll pass them on ahead of then. I’m pleased that they have responded to resident’s suggestions of putting car club bays in the roads inside the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), such as the Oakfield Road bridge, rather than on the clogged roads just outside the CPZ (see previous post).
The new cars should be in place by June.

This is good news, but still it seems that residents in the area between Stapleton Hall Road and Ridge Road are still being denied car club bays near to where they live. There’s plenty of space on Albany Road or example which is currently being used by people who don’t live in that road to park private and commercial vehicles. Much better to give this up to car sharing.
