Low Traffic Neighbourhood
The Dartmouth Park Healthy Neighbourhood scheme will have a major impact on traffic in Highgate. The area from the Gatehouse pub in the north to Kentish Town in the south will become a Low Traffic Neighbourhood.
Highgate Hill Traffic
We’re campaigning for changes to Highgate Hill between Bisham Gardens and Hornsey Lane to slow the traffic. This is a school street.
271 bus stand
The Old Bus Stand is a huge opportunity to reinvigorate the Highgate village shopping centre and enhance the conservation area. Highgate village is not suited to large retail premises and so its future depends on becoming a more pleasant destination for leisure shopping with outside cafes and dining.
Highgate School development plans
The school is a valued neighbour and important employer, but expansion will change Highgate as a place to live and work, increasing traffic and impacting the Conservation Area. Plans impact a number of different locations.
Townsend Yard Campaign
Townsend Yard is a short narrow road that connects only with Highgate High Street. Permitting five or six houses would have been reasonable, but allowing seven removed the turning area and blocked emergency access and exit from 36A Highgate High Street (Shepherd’s Cottage). Shepherd’s Cottage is listed grade II and the development will remove all public view of the Cottage and destroy its setting.

Summer issue of buzz is out now
The Summer 2024 edition of the Society’s magazine buzz has been published and distributed to members. This issue features artists in the locality with something of an emphasis on women. Inspiration is drawn from stained glass windows, a woman jeweller and the watercolour group.
