Healthier and more liveable roads: Bradstock Road and Cassland Road junction

Overview

We are seeking your views on proposals to transform the Bradstock Road and Cassland Road junction into a safer, more attractive and playful connection point, with new landscaping, seating and play-on-the-way features for children.

The proposals form part of our plans to create a greener, healthier Hackney, improve road safety and support people to walk, shop and cycle locally. 

What is this survey about? 

This page outlines proposals to transform the junction of Cassland Road and Bradstock Road.  

This survey seeks your views and input on these proposals to help us develop the proposals into detailed designs. 

Why are these changes being proposed?

The Council is committed to making our roads safer for everyone living, working and visiting the borough. Creating an environment that will encourage more walking and cycling is a key part of the Council’s Transport Vision and an essential part of Hackney’s Transport Strategy. 

The Council has received funding from the Mayor’s Air Quality Fund to improve the connectivity and environment for pedestrians and cyclists within the Homerton, Hackney Wick and Victoria wards. Now it’s time to start delivering on the changes including on Cassland Road.

The junction of Bradstock Road and Cassland Road has been selected for improvement because it is on a key walking and cycling route for local residents. The area is also identified by the Greater London Authority (GLA) as an Air Quality Focus Area and is also at risk of flooding. Local trips which may cross this junction include trips to Homerton Station, Victoria Park, Well Street Common, Wentworth Nursery and Wentworth Children’s Centre and Gascoyne Community Halls 1 and 2.

Our Transport Strategy includes a Liveable Neighbourhood Plan. This plan acknowledges that local streets serve more than just a function for parking and driving, walking, or cycling. They are also vital spaces for social interaction and daily living.

What are the proposals?

The proposals are illustrated and described below.
