More information about our proposed projects

You told us you wanted to see more greenery and biodiversity, better bin management, and playful features for children in this existing public space by the shop.

We propose to:

• Plant one new tree and add low-level in-ground planting in this space, replacing the existing paving 
• Install stepping posts and sensory play features for children 
• Relocate the existing public seating away from nearby properties and closer to the two large trees in the space

Please note we will be installing new bins here as a separate priority project, the council will be in touch about this separately in due course

Project: Greening and other improvements to existing School Street on Carleton Road and Dalmeny Road outside Tufnell Park Primary School and The Bridge Secondary School

Map showing location of scheme - Carleton Road and Dalmeny Road

 What it could involve: 

• New greenery (trees and low-level planting) – including potentially by removing some parking spaces and building out pavements
• Potential for: 
  • New public seating 
  • Fun features for informal children’s play (e.g. hopscotch, stepping stones)

Why do we want to make these types of changes?

• Greening can help soften the street environment, help mitigate climate impacts such as heat and flooding, and support biodiversity 
• Create places for people to sit and rest while waiting for school pick-up
• Make the area outside the schools more child-friendly, creating fun and interesting features for children to interact with before/after school

Public engagement:

Our public engagement on the improvements to the existing school street on Carleton Road and Dalmeny Road ran from Monday 7 to Monday 21 July 2025.

We are now considering the feedback we have received from the public engagement to help inform designs that we are developing for public consultation.
