Our Plan for Safer Streets

13 Feb 2026

Recent incidents near Blackhorse Road station have highlighted the urgent need for traffic calming in our area.

Anyone who walks along Higham Hill Road or Billet Road will have seen cars regularly exceeding the speed limit, with little in place to stop them.

Higham Hill Road is a vital local link, home to two schools, local amenities and our pub.

Billet Road is similarly busy, serving two schools and two nurseries, with heavy traffic throughout the day.

At peak pick-up and drop-off times, the risks are clear.

We believe it’s time to install speed cameras on both Higham Hill Road and Billet Road.

Local Lib Dem campaigner Alan Jones said: “It’s 20 for a reason. Most drivers respect it, but it only takes one speeding car to cause a disaster. We need an effective deterrent to keep our streets safe.”
