The London Borough of Islington
had invested a lot of time and
treasure in their quest for
solutions to the many sclerotising
problems inherent in the Archway
Gyratory road layout at a critical
point of the A1 route out of the City
of London towards the North.
In 2014 consultation and project
development was taken in-house
by Transport for London with
clearly defined objectives:
• Reduce traffic dominance around
the town centre
• Improve the accessibility of the
junction for cyclists
• Improve safety and the
perception of safety
• Provide a [new] high quality
urban realm
• Protect the capacity of the A1
GreenBlue Urban were delighted
that Transport for London opted
for the GBU ‘state of the art’ tree
pit package deals incorporating
RootSpace RootDirectors,
RootRain Irrigation, Geonet, soil,
and Thames Guards and Castle
Tree Grilles. They were chosen
as they allow virtually any style
of surround paving to be placed
within the trays and continue right
over the tree pit whilst providing
the structural support required.
Having Archway Gyratory featured
on the front cover of the London
Mayor Transport Strategy 2017,
Grayham Tindall, Transport for
London arboriculturist, writes:
“TfL are continuing to improve
the environment for the health
and wellbeing of our customers.
Planting trees in the streets of
London has many challenges, in
this instance these were solved
using a cellular system. We have
found GBU very supportive and
their products delivered all the
requirements and expectations.”
