Kings Cross gyratory - reviewing the road network in the Kings Cross area to make it safer for all road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists.

Kings Cross gyratory

We are reviewing the road network in the Kings Cross area to make it safer for all road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists.

A strategic review was launched in December 2011. It will consider the future operation of the Kings Cross gyratory system and consider changing the one-way roads to two-way.

Next steps

Work has started on a feasibility study (the first part of the strategic review) and we have appointed a consultant to examine the area. The study will focus on the following roads:

A201 Penton Rise, Kings Cross Road
A501 Pentonville Road, Gray's Inn Road, Acton Street, Swinton Street
A5202 Pancras Road, Midland Road, Goods Way
A5203 Caledonian Road, Wharfdale Road
A5200 York Way

We are working with the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington and representatives from cycling and pedestrian groups to develop the objectives of the review.

Progress meetings will be held throughout the feasibility study, which local community groups will be invited to.

Once this is done, we will generate a number of proposals through a series of workshops with key representative groups.

Further engagement will then be undertaken to consider which proposals we should develop further.

The preferred options will be announced by summer 2013.

Have your say

Local residents and the public will be consulted when the preferred options have been identified.

At this stage, comments or suggestions are welcomed. Please email them to us.

Gangs of new Britain

Gangs of new Britain By Olga Craig, Sunday Telegraph Last Updated: 1:07am GMT 11/02/2007 No one knows for certain which newspapers Terry Adams took. Indeed none of us knows for sure that he took any at all. What we do know, however, is that what Mr Adams did take was a very great deal of pride and satisfaction in the fact that, until last week, his name and photograph were rarely, if ever, to be found in their pages. Not that he isn't a vain man, one for whom reputation, respect and standing matter little. Quite the contrary. Adams is very proud of his notoriety among his local, north London community: what he has spent a lifetime avoiding is public recognition. No longer. This morning, Adams, the godfather behind a £200 million business built on murder, drugs and money-laundering, whose catch-phrase is "give him a slap", will wake up in Belmarsh, south London's high security prison, after admitting a five-year conspiracy to hide £1 million. While he was handed a 14-y...
