The idea of filtering is to filter *all* possible through motor traffic routes in an area, including Henchman Street and Braybrook Street. You first define the traffic cell (easy in this case). Then you take a diagram of the streets inside it and sit down with local people who know the area, the waste service, the emergency services, etc. and try to make everybody's interests converge. This will inevitably involve some compromise, but it's perfectly possible to overcome the difficulties inherent in it.
I could obviously give you a number of different options for filtering schemes right away, but (a) I don't have the local knowledge that might make one or several of them impossible¸ and (b) it's none of my business, as I live far away and have no involvement with the area. Very happy to give general advice, but it's your job to make it happen. :)
It's very important not to do a partial filtering scheme. That often gets done because it's a lot easier, but it would, as you say, leave open routes like the ones you mention, and if that's what's going to happen it's best not to do anything until such time as there is a way of doing it properly.

This is brilliant Oliver. Opening up the Erconwald/Wulfstan street junction to restore the Square makes so much sense.
How would you manage rat running along Henchman Street and Braybrook Street? That is what would happen ...
