We recently sent out a leaflet to Somers Town residents advising them that the traffic order for the trial changes on Phoenix Road was made on 8th February. Works are due to start on site from the week of 19th February onwards. The leaflet includes information about the traffic restrictions for vehicles and maps of alternative routes for travelling in and out of Somers Town by car. You will hopefully have received a copy of this in the post. You can also access it via the link below: <a href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/phoenixroad/Phoenix%20Road%20routing%20-%20leaflet_reduced.pdf">Routing Leaflet for driving in and out of Somers Town</a> <a href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/phoenixroad/Phoenix%20Road%20routing%20-%20leaflet_reduced.pdf"></a>If you would like to request a printed copy of the leaflet or to request this information in another format (like large print or another language) you can email us at safetravel@camden.gov.ukor call us on 020 7974 4444. <a href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/phoenixroad/Phoenix%20Road%20routing%20-%20leaflet_reduced.pdf"></a> <a href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/phoenixroad/Phoenix%20Road%20routing%20-%20leaflet_reduced.pdf"></a>This will mark the beginning of a year-long trial to test out traffic changes and to trial the creation of a new open space in the heart of Somers Town.

Changes to Phoenix Road coming soon!

During March 2023 we consulted on changes proposed for the Phoenix Road area. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their views. We had 79 responses and following the consultation, we have made the decision to implement the proposed trial and permanent changes. We are making some changes to the proposed designs in response to information that you shared during the consultation. The changes to traffic along Phoenix Road will be implemented later this year. These changes will enable work to begin on building the wider pavements and creating rain gardens and new green spaces. Updates on the designs for the new rain gardens and the trial &#39;Phoenix Park&#39; will be posted here over the coming months. You can read the decision report relating to this<a href="https://democracy.camden.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=4017"> here</a>.

Update on Phoenix Road Safe and Healthy Streets Consultation

We are pleased to share a refreshed and updated website ready for the new year and upcoming consultations about trials in Phoenix Road and adjoining streets in 2023. Following co-design activities and development of an Emerging Plan during 2021, this site was quiet throughout 2022. During this time, Transport planners and Highways Engineers in the project team have been working to develop proposals for traffic changes that will be part of a 12 month trial period in 2023. Trial of traffic changes The trial will enable us to test how the changes may impact on people who live, work and study in Somers Town. Community feedback and lessons learned during the trial period will be incorporated into the master plan for greening Phoenix Road and pave the way for permanent changes to traffic. These traffic changes will enable parts of the road to be converted from carriageway to create green spaces and to begin to transform Phoenix Road into a green link between Euston and St Pancras stations. Postcards and notices are circulating with details of the proposed changes and how to have your say. <a href="https://consultations.wearecamden.org/supporting-communities/phoenix/">Click here</a> to find information about the proposals and an online survey. Want to talk to us in person? We&#39;ll be at the Sharing space: Doreen Bazell Hall, 1 Goldington Street, NW1 1UG (on the corner of Goldington Street and Chenies Place). Pop in any time between 12pm - 3pm on Thursday 16 March or Thursday 23 March. Somers Town parklets Two parklets were created and installed in July 2022. The parklets are part of an 18 month trial to test the impacts of converting parking spaces to green spaces. We worked with local groups to install planters and inject greening and colour into the <a href="http://carriageway.test"></a>streetscape. With partners, we built in an added experiment to see what happens when seating is placed in the street and to explore ways that this may be achieved in the wider plans for greening Phoenix Road. We look forward to sharing proposals and to hearing your feedback. Thank you Finally, thank you to everyone who has shared their local knowledge and given feedback t<a href="http://date.lease"></a>o date.
