Project Update – 27 June 2025

Following the update shared by Cabinet Member Cllr Ozaydin on 31 March 2025, preparations are continuing for the launch of the Bowes Quieter Neighbourhood (QN) trial, scheduled for Summer 2025.

To support the trial, Automatic Traffic Counters (ATCs) were installed earlier in June on Ollerton Road, Highworth Road, Warwick Road, and Natal Road to collect traffic data. In collaboration with Haringey Council, further ATC locations will be identified along the boundary between Haringey and Enfield to help monitor traffic patterns both within the trial area and on surrounding boundary roads. The data gathered will help assess the impacts of the trial and guide any necessary adjustments.

All the addresses included within the Bowes QN trial area have been gathered and we are in the process of updating the permit system to reflect the trial arrangements. Details on how to apply for permits - as well as responses to frequently asked questions - will be published on the Bowes Primary Quieter Neighbourhood project page under the FAQs section. The Council will be writing to all homes in the area once the permitting system is ready, to invite applications.

The Council also continue with other preparations, including for example discussing the trial proposals with the Emergency Services.

We thank residents for their patience as we continue to prepare to launch the trial.

Further updates, and next steps, will continue to be published on the project page over the coming weeks.
