All of the schemes operate timed road closures on Mondays to Fridays e.g. from 8.15am-9.15am and 3pm-4pm in term time.
In all of the schemes, it is stated that the restrictions will be enforced using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras.
Two of the schemes would be introduced as a trial for a maximum of 18 months with a further consultation after 12 months. The third one (Maria Fidelis Catholic School) would be implemented as a permanent scheme.
Exemptions: properties and businesses in the closed section of the affected road, emergency services, bin lorries, blue badge and pupils of the school that have a disability that prevents them from using active travel.

But they haven’t taken on our suggestion sent in response to the engagement and the original consultation
…..,We therefore ask Camden to consider extending the timed closures to include the sections of Belsize Lane and Wedderburn Road between Lyndhurst Gardens and Haverstock Hill as well as the section of Lyndhurst Road east of Lyndhurst Gardens, which would provide alternative quiet links between Haverstock Hill and both schools.
