K15: TOWN CENTRE ROAD NETWORK
Through partnership working with Transport for London, the implementation of the Proposal Sites and policies in this AAP and the determination of planning applications, the Council will:
- Seek to balance competing needs on the town centre road network, including the need to maintain traffi c circulation and minimise congestion with opportunities to give greater priority to pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users and people with disabilities
- Continue to reduce vehicle access, where feasible, within the Motor Vehicle Restricted Area (Plan 11 and Proposals Map) and implement pedestrian and cycle priority schemes to improve the environmental quality of the streets
- Seek to ensure that servicing and delivery arrangements meet the reasonable needs of business through improved off-street servicing and loading facilities. Where possible, these should be underground or through rear servicing and should also provide for adjacent properties
- Review signing and implement an integrated signing strategy for vehicles, buses, freight, pedestrians and cyclists
