Our proposal to create a loading bay on Essex Road
This scheme has now been implemented.
Public consultation for the proposed loading bay on Essex Road took place in November-December 2025. This was accompanied by letter distribution within a 100m radius of the proposed location.
The council received five responses to the consultation. Four of these were supportive of the proposal, while also expressing concerns about what they reported to be local environmental conditions related to the supermarket (including noise, air pollution, rubbish/litter, and obstruction of the pavement, parking spaces and traffic lanes). One response was opposed to the proposals.
Upon consideration of all responses and the benefits of the scheme for supporting business loading and the safe operation of the public highway, the council has decided to proceed with implementing the project.
Our consultation on the proposals in 2025
Islington Council is proposing to create a loading bay on Essex Road, located outside the mini supermarket near the junction with Church Road. This loading bay would be operational during specific times to facilitate deliveries to the store.
To accommodate this, approximately five pay by phone parking spaces will be removed located outside 311-319 Essex Road and would be converted into a time-limited loading bay. The proposed operating hours for the loading bay are:
Mondays to Fridays: 8.30am to 6.30pm
Saturdays: 8.30am to 1.30pm
At other times the bay would have no restrictions.
