How we want to improve streets and spaces in this area
As part of our commitment to create a greener, healthier and more child-friendly borough, Islington Council is looking to make improvements to the street environment in this area, with support from your local St Peter’s & Canalside and St Mary’s & St James’ ward councillors.
We introduced the St Peter’s Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) as a trial in 2020 and made permanent in 2022 after consultation, to create cleaner, less congested and more people-friendly streets in the area. Now we want to build on these measures, making the place greener, more welcoming and accessible place for everyone, while supporting local businesses.
Improvements to three local street spaces in the area
Between 15 September and 5 October, we consulted on proposals to improve three locations:
Britannia Row (St Mary's & St James' ward)
Graham Street (St Peter's & Canalside ward)
Colebrooke Row existing traffic filter between Vincent Terrace and Duncan Street (St Peter's & Canalside ward)
Colebrooke Row: we also consulted on proposed improvements at the existing traffic filter between Vincent Terrace and Duncan Street including replacing the existing planter boxes with widened footways, new greenery and improved informal crossings and cycle parking. Updates on this project will be posted on this page.
Future improvements at two locations in the area
We also want to improve the street environment on St Peter's Street and Packington Street/Prebend Street junction.
In June-July 2025 we asked for your views on how we could improve these spaces.
Your feedback is helping us develop designs for St Peter's Street and Packington Street/Prebend Street junction, and we'll consult you further once designs are ready. Find out more about this.
Other recent street improvements in the area
We've already made some improvements to streets and spaces in this area including:
Bishop Street (St Mary's & St James' ward) - in November 2025 we resurfaced the road, which was in poor condition, to provide a safer and more comfortable surface for people cycling on Cycleway 27
Noel Road (St Peter's & Canalside ward): in summer 2025 we implemented improvements outside Hanover Primary School to enhance the existing school street - see our dedicated webpage for details.
