Why? To make sure they work. Can fire engines and refuse lorries can still pass?
Testing and refining the designs for - the junction between Stanmore and Waldeck (the ‘wishbone’) - the ‘break-points’ (as are proposed for Langham Road and Mannock Road)
What happens next?
Analysis What’s the neighbourhood like now?

Vision
2 Plan Where should we focus our attention?
Please note the focus for Saturday 9th July is the junction of Stanmore & Waldeck and the ‘breakpoints’ which are proposed for Langham Road and Mannock Road. However, this is a quick summary of where we are up to with the other designs.
3 Design
4 Refine and Define
This is where we are in the process...
What change would we like to see?
Make small changes and focus on details e.g. tree species, art and tree guards.
5 Construction is due to start in the Autumn, at the earliest September

‘Gateway’ and Junction treatment @ Stanmore and Waldeck (AKA ‘The Wish Bone’) This will combine a ‘gateway treatment’ and a road narrowing to slow traffic along Stanmore Road.
‘Gateway’ @ Carlingford Road
A number of ‘gateways’ to the neighbourhood are planned. They will: • Welcome visitors to the neighbourhood and subtly signal to drivers they are entering a residential neighbourhood and need to slow down • Use physical interventions such as road narrowings and attractive speed tables to slow traffic speed. • Include ornamental trees to add character and offer potential for bespoke artwork to give identity to the neighbourhood • Create a controlled ‘sense of ambiguity’ to encourage slower traffic speeds

• The design will provides a strong visual character for the neighbourhood which will be carried through all the design features. This will comprise the colour, pattern and type of block work, the tree planting and detailing of tree grilles and guards.

A number of junction improvements to the neighbourhood are planned. They will: • Use physical interventions such as road narrowings and attractive speed tables to slow traffic speed. • Include ornamental trees and patterned block work to add character • Create a controlled ‘sense of ambiguity’ to encourage slower traffic speeds • Improve the pedestrian environment and make crossing the road easier

There will be several features to ‘break up’ long, straight sections of road to slow traffic speed.
break-points
Western arm of Langham Road
They will feature a central ‘traffic island’ with a tree to ‘break up’ the linearity and ‘forward visibility’ of the street • The shape of the traffic island will create a subtle ‘chicane’ effect which will deflect drivers off the straightest and fastest route • An irregular and original looking design will create a controlled level of ambiguity and encourage drivers to slow down

• The colour and pattern of the block paving will visually narrow the road, whilst still allowing for minimum width for emergency vehicles

• Avenue of mature trees creates ‘civic’ character • • Retained and additional strips of granite (or similar) setts at entry points contribute to local character and provide ‘rumble’ effect to encourage slower traffic speed • • Paving blocks laid in a pattern creates ‘sense of place’ and challenges priority of vehicles

Existing cycle and pedestrian route to become shared path with less signage ‘clutter’
•
New ‘anti-skid’ surface treatment in ‘buff’ colour - see example below
View One
A new informal play space is proposed which references the railway which used to run through this area: •
New landscaping to provide play opportunities
• New railway sleepers help to define the space and create informal seating •
New planting to provide seasonal colour
Example of the surface treatment we are proposing
The idea behind this is to create a different kind of feel to the neighbourhood and challenge the priority of vehicles. We haven’t made a final decision on this but currently favour a random pattern such as this (sent in by a resident). We plan to try out some ideas again today with more paving blocks.
Art? We have a special session focussed on art organised for the evening of Wednesday 27th July @Christ Church on Waldeck Road from 7pm
Detailing
There has been some discussion about the colour and pattern of block paving:
