FIXMYSTREET IN NW1 9SY
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of NW1 9SY:
Safety Issues — Chalk Farm Rd Cycle Path, 2nd May
While it’s great to see Camden invest in cycle infrastructure, such as the development of the Chalk Farm Rd cycle path, I have a number of concerns regarding the termination point near Hartland Rd.
The end of the path is not only poorly conceived but also poses a significant threat to the safety of cyclists.
Of particular concern is the acute angle at which cyclists will be directed onto the roadway, a design choice that not only lacks practicality but also increases the risk of collisions with traffic. Additionally, the presence of a bump immediately preceding this juncture exacerbates the perilous situation as cyclists' attention at this critical moment would likely be behind them, focused on the approaching traffic.
If the decision is to implement a give-way protocol at the termination of the cycle path then this introduces additional complications, as the potential accumulation of waiting cyclists could impede the flow of traffic entering or exiting Hartland Rd. This logistical bottleneck not only undermines the efficiency of the cycling infrastructure but also discourages its utilisation in favour of safer alternatives.
It is alarming that such hazardous conditions were not identified and rectified during the design phase. The inherent danger of the current layout cannot be overstated, as it is bound to result in accidents and injuries if left unaddressed.
It is imperative that these issues are addressed to ensure the safety of cyclists and I urge the council to take immediate action before the path is opened to the public.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Metal bollard removed on Chalcot Square, 2nd May
The metal bollard that previously restricted access to emergency services only at the corner of Chalcot Square (near Berkeley Rd) has been removed. As a result, large trucks/lorries and other vehicles are now using this area as a cut-through.
The area is unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), a concern that has escalated recently with instances of them reversing the wrong way down the 'no entry' on Chalcot Square.
Please can you urgently replace the bollard and ensure it’s securely fixed in place to prevent its removal or theft in the future. Although someone attempted to mark the area with a cone recently, that has since been moved too. Additionally, installing signage could help prevent further misuse of the space.
This area is frequented by local residents and visitors who utilise the benches, making it particularly hazardous to have vehicles passing by at close proximity. The increased traffic is also contributing to increased noise and pollution and potentially causing damage to the cobbles.

Pothole/sinkhole on east side of Ossulston St, 1st May
Increasingly large - not sure what to call it! - mini sinkhole?! The road surface has sunk, leaving a pothole-sized circular depression in the east side of the street outside the back of the Francis Crick Institute. It's got worse lately and is also not very visible so it's a hazard to cyclists.

Georgiana Street facing east before junction with Royal College Street, 1st May
An update on previous report # 5626131.
I really do believe a road sign is missing here and that it would significantly improve road safety for cyclists if it could be added. The other cross streets all have a sign under the one-way street sign that says 'Except cycles'. But this is missing from Georgiana Street.
This means there is no signage alerting road users going east on Georgiana Street (straight across Royal College Street) that there is a contraflow bike lane going south on the opposite side of the road. Traffic going straight through will be unaware that they need to look left as well as right before proceeding straight ahead across the junction. This is a serious danger to cyclists and I have experienced a number of near misses as well as witnessing a van/bike collision since the last report I made about this (in February). I'd be so grateful if this could be looked at.
