Residents Removed £1,000,000 Bus Lane After Three Months

A group of residents in Finchley successfully campaigned against a newly installed £1 million bus lane on Regent’s Park Road, which was intended to improve bus travel but forced cars into oncoming traffic and led to safety concerns. After just three months, the Barnet Council confirmed the cancellation of the scheme, with only one-third of the allocated funds spent. Residents criticized the limited consultation process prior to the installation and mobilized around 1,700 signatures for their petition. The council plans to collaborate with Transport for London to ensure future investments enhance road safety and usability.
