Dunedin area improvements


We secured funding as part of the Coronation Square and Score Centre redevelopment to make improvements to the area to better connect the development to the local community, Leyton Station and existing amenities on High Road Leyton. Our aim is to make it easier and safer for local people to get around by active and sustainable modes of travel such as public transport, walking, cycling and wheeling. We also want to improve the look and feel of the area and make it greener and healthier.

In June 2024, in response to community concerns about the speed and volume of traffic on Lyttelton Road, Dunedin Road, York Road, and Adelaide Road, we asked you if there were any traffic and road safety issues that needed to be addressed, or any improvements local people would like to see to make the area look and feel better and help people move around safer and more easily. In response to this survey, 73% said motorised vehicles speed, 71% were concerned about personal safety and crime, and 69% said changes to reduce traffic were needed. A full breakdown of the responses can be found in the ‘Public consultation leaflet' in the 'Useful documents' section.

Using this information, we created proposals for the area including:

  • Modal filters to reduce traffic and associated changes to some of the one-way and two-way roads in the area
  • Upgrades to existing speed cushions to reduce speeding
  • Planting to make the area greener and more pleasant.
  • Continuous footways to make it easier for pedestrians to cross the road.

Some of these measures, like the modal filters and one-way and two-way road changes, were proposed to be introduced on an experimental basis. Then, if the trial was successful, these would be made permanent, enabling other measures like continuous footways to be introduced.

What you told us

The public consultation on these proposals ran from 24 February to 17 March 2025, offering local people a range of ways to get involved. People shared their views through an online survey, attended a drop-in session at Score Leisure Centre on 1 March, and provided feedback via email.

A total of 74 respondents answered the online survey. The results and information about how we used your feedback can be found in the 'Public consultation results leaflet' in the 'Useful documents' section.

What happens now

The upgrades to the existing speed cushions will happen in autumn 2025 to reduce speeding in the area.

Other elements of the scheme, including the modal filters and changes to one and two-way roads, will be introduced under Experimental Traffic Management Orders (ETMOs) on 6 October 2025. This means we have 18 months to decide on whether the changes will be made legally permanent or not. The first six months of this process involves a statutory consultation, where local people can provide feedback about how the measures are working. This allows local people to experience the changes and provide feedback which we will consider, alongside the traffic monitoring we intend to undertake regularly during the experimental period, before making a final decision. Introducing the changes using Experimental Traffic Management Orders also means that we have flexibility to make some small adjustments and changes during the experimental period, if necessary, based on any feedback received.

There may be some disruption in the week of 6 October while the temporary measures are being installed. There may also be increased traffic in the area for the first couple of weeks as motorists adjust to the new road layout. Please take a look at the map below to see where the new one-way and two-way streets are.

How to provide feedback

During the six-month statutory consultation period, we’re collecting feedback through an online survey below. Here you will be able to tell us what you think of the scheme throughout the period, from 6 October 2025 to 6 April 2026.

You can also object or write an official comment on the scheme by emailing enjoy@walthamforest.gov.uk with your name and address and ‘Dunedin area improvements ET8(25)’ in the subject line.

What happens next

If the scheme is made permanent, we will introduce six continuous footways at all side roads on the scheme boundary to make it easier for people to cross the road, and planting to create a green corridor from Coronation Gardens to Leyton.

It is not possible to introduce these measures without first reducing traffic in the area by introducing modal filters. This is because continuous footways can only be introduced when there are low levels of traffic, and the permanent modal filters will provide the space needed for planting.
