Please provide details of consultation/ investigation and evaluation result behind the decision for making Great Cambridge Road (stretch between A406 and White hart lane N17).
We answered
Our Ref: FOI-1302-2223
Thank you for your request received on 26 August 2022 asking for information about the change in speed limit on the Great Cambridge Road.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.
The consultation for the changes to the Great Cambridge Road was carried out in August/September 2021. TfL did not receive any objection to the proposal.
TfL had written to local Councillors in both the London Borough of Haringey and London Borough of Enfield to share its plans to implement the scheme and some justification for lowering the speed limit on this section of the A10 Great Cambridge Road. Please see attached a copy of the letter which provides the necessary justification for the scheme.
In accordance with our obligations under Data Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle of Article 5 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.
This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest favours use of the exemption.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please feel free to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
Gemma Jacob Senior FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
