Q:

Pavement Obstruction

    Can we talk about the construction traffic on Museum Street? It’s completely jammed every

    morning now — their trucks stop on both sides, nothing moving. It’s a nightmare just trying

    to walk down the pavement. Is this to do with our site or something else??

          Is there anyone from the construction team monitoring this?

            We will take this up with the contractor when an exception occurs. Anything urgent- use the

            hotline.– either they can do a better job of managing their traffic or we can take it up with an

            enforcement office at the council

              Agreed. We should raise this formally with both the council and the ward councillors. Happy

              to co-sign something. This is supposed to be a conservation area, not a logistics hub.

                I emailed Camden Council but no response. Surely there’s a proper traffic management plan

                for this kind of thing. If so how do we enforce it? This street isn’t designed for constant

                obstruction — it’s barely wide enough for two bikes to pass.

                  And it’s not just vehicles — the site workers have started storing materials on the pavement!

                  I run a restaurant on West Central Street. My customers yesterday had to step into the road

                  just to get around it. Isn’t that a safety issue? How do we stop this bad behaviour?

                    Same on the Great Russell end. I couldn’t get a cab to stop near my flat — he had to let me

                    off two blocks away because the entire street was gridlocked with trucks and a skip being

                    unloaded. It’s ridiculous. Surely this us against the rules for this kind of thing

                      Totally agree. I live above the café and I’ve seen delivery lorries just sitting in the middle of

                      the road, hazard lights on, with nowhere to go. Residents literally have to weave between

                      construction lorries just to get out of their own building.
