Enfield faces legal challenge over major cycle lane scheme

Enfield Council is facing a legal challenge from local campaigners over the A105 cycle lane scheme.

The cycle lane scheme is set to run from Enfield Town to Palmers Green, but the Save our Green Lanes Campaign Group claims that the plans will have adverse effects on local residents and has accused the Council of not providing key documents demonstrating these impacts during the consultation.

Court papers have now been served by Costas Georgiou, chairman of the Green Lanes Business Association.

Georgiou said: “Save Our Green Lanes has repeatedly raised concerns about the negatives impacts of the proposed Cycle Enfield scheme for the A105. Enfield Council’s own consultants have stated that the proposals will have adverse effects on residents’ parking, the viability of businesses, air quality, traffic congestion, bus journey times, bus passenger and disabled pedestrian safety, as well as emergency services response times.

“Enfield Council did not provide key documents during the consultation, which would have demonstrated these adverse impacts. After these documents were published, the Council has not engaged with people in any meaningful way.

“We have been left with no option but to start judicial review proceedings in the High Court. We thank our supporters for their continued support and will be calling a public meeting in due course”.
