<p>I wanted to let people know that Enfield Council have been taking forward an idea similar to this in concept.</p>
<p>There are emerging plans for a Bowes Quieter Neighbourhood for which is currently in an early local engagement phase.</p>

<p>I suggest as many people as possible share their views, to demonstrate that this is an important issue for residents. I also suggest that people encourage Enfield to work closely with Haringey as some of the rat runs are cross borough. There is also an opportunity here to invest in our high street Myddleton Road.</p> Imagine what it would be like…tag:bowesandbounds.org,2018-05-11:6278630:Comment:1313282018-05-11T06:22:53.514ZLiz Wrighthttps://bowesandbounds.org/profile/LizWright
<p>Imagine what it would be like to live in a street in our community blighted by traffic. Where you can't open your windows because of the noise and toxic fumes from traffic. Where you can't stand chatting in the street with neighbours. Where you have to take detours down other streets to get to your house.</p>

<p>Imagine what it would be like to live in a street in our community blighted by traffic. Where you can't open your windows because of the noise and toxic fumes from traffic.

<p>As I walked around the streets of Bowes Ward canvassing for the local election I had many conversations with people. There are many different views about the traffic situation in our ward. One challenge is how all the voices are heard. The voices of those who live in the leafy suburbs of our ward which already feel like a low traffic neighbourhood (LTN). The voices of those whose lives are blighted by the traffic that invades their residential streets on a daily basis.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The first question is 'Do you want a Low Traffic Community in Bowes Ward?'</p>
<p></p>
<p>This year up to ten million pounds will be given to each authority to develop low traffic neighbourhoods. Matt has described above what these areas will be like.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As Matt says the plan could only be made to work by the community and the council working together. What do you think?</p>
<p></p>
<p>As I stood with our newly elected councillors waiting for the results of the election they assured me that they care about 'green issues'. So I assume that they are ready to work with the Bowes Ward community to develop a LTN.</p>
