We’re delivering on longstanding commitments to make the Amhurst Road and Pembury Circus greener and safer to create a new green corridor through the heart of Hackney Central.
This could include:
Amhurst Road is part of the major road network taking traffic through the heart of Hackney Central, resulting in poor air quality, dangerous road junctions and a disconnected town centre.
Reducing traffic along this route will mean we can reclaim space from cars for people, delivering on the feedback local people gave us about the need for more trees and planting, and more pavement space to get about.
Less traffic also means we can deliver on our longstanding commitment to make Pembury Circus – one of the most dangerous junctions in the borough – safer for pedestrians and cyclists. This is only possible by reducing traffic on one of the main approaches to the junction.
Together, these changes help deliver on our ambition for a town centre with more public space and greenery, less traffic and pollution, and better access to get about on foot or by bike.
We’re developing detailed plans for these changes based on extensive engagement with local people over a number of years. This includes the Hackney Central Conversation, where people made clear that a greener, healthier town centre was a priority, and engagement on previous proposals to improve Pembury Circus and Amhurst Road.
We’ll keep you informed about these plans, and the opportunities to help inform the changes that take place.
