Introduction
Small Schemes are mostly on WeAreCamden
The process is: 3-week public consultation, decision report, then 3-week statutory consultation (Traffic Orders), decision report (if objections to statutory consultation); permanent implementation of schemes (not trials).

MINOR PARKING CHANGES – LEVERTON STREET, NW5
This one was not on WeAreCamden but is maybe a ‘Minor’ scheme.
Reply from JD by email to transportconsultations@camden.gov.uk on 29/1/24 supporting –
We are strongly in favour of Camden’s policy to install double yellow lines within 10 m of every junction which improves sight lines making crossing the junction much safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
We therefore support the current proposals at the junction of Falkland Road and Leverton Street.
