The aim of the scheme is to reduce significantly the through traffic east of Wandsworth Bridge Road, including through Harwood Terrace, and improve bus journey times at the Bagleys Lane junction. The expectation is that traffic previously able to cut through to New Kings Road will be eliminated.
The key points of the scheme are:
- non-H&F residents will be no longer be able to cut into residential streets to the east of Wandsworth Bridge Road and then exit through Harwood Terrace or the Bagleys Lane junction
- non-H&F residents will not be able to cut through the east of Wandsworth Bridge Road and use Stephendale Road, Hazlebury Road or Broughton Road to bypass queues and rejoin Wandsworth Bridge Road
- we will monitor rat running and through traffic in the area and in Harwood Terrace during the experiment
- traffic in the SW6 area will be considerably lower than before the experimental closure of Harwood Terrace
- buses on Bagleys Lane will be able to run better than ever
- noise, air pollution and carbon emissions will decrease in line with the council’s climate emergency strategy.
