After a thorough period of engagement in the Ferndale Low Traffic Neighbourhood, we are excited to share that the Ferndale Engagement Summary Report has now been published!
This report highlights the input gathered from residents and stakeholders and displays recommendations based on the feedback received.

Community Parklets
January and February saw the installation of 5 Community Parklets!
Meristem’s team braved the winter weather and installed the first batch of parklets. The parklets will serve as community hubs for residents, who have reached out to let us know how they have brightened the street. The parklets provide spaces for socialising and rest where previously there has been none.
The individual parklets have taken different shapes depending on how the residents want to use them. One group of residents wanted there to be plenty of space so they can bring out their own chairs to socialise in the evenings as they started doing during lockdown.
Another group of residents chose to have their parklet serve as a memorial to a neighbour who had contributed a lot to their community. They chose to honour her memory by applying for the parklet and uniting their neighbours around this new space.
If you and your community would like a parklet on your street you can find out more information on the Big Shift Website.
Cycling support
As spring is just around the corner, why not try out something new and give cycling a go? The Big Shift has several projects to help both experienced and inexperienced cyclists get on their bikes.
Check out what support is available below.
Bike Markets
Bring along your outgrown, unwanted bikes to the market and put them to good use and donate them to a great project.
All donated bikes will be serviced by upCYCLE and checked by a qualified mechanic to ensure they are in good working order. The bikes will then be sold at bike markets run by Peddle My Wheels, with 100% of all sales proceeds going back to upcycle.
Check out the upcoming sessions here.
Dr Bike
Experienced mechanics will give your bike a FREE safety check.
Qualified mechanics check everything on your bike from wheels, brakes, gears, and tyre pressure, to lights, racks, pedals, saddles, and more.
For anything that can’t be fixed there and then, the mechanic will explain what needs doing and provide an estimated cost to fix at a bike shop.
Check out the upcoming sessions here.

The individual parklets have taken different shapes depending on how the residents want to use them. One group of residents wanted there to be plenty of space so they can bring out their own chairs to socialise in the evenings as they started doing during lockdown.
Another group of residents chose to have their parklet serve as a memorial to a neighbour who had contributed a lot to their community. They chose to honour her memory by applying for the parklet and uniting their neighbours around this new space.
If you and your community would like a parklet on your street you can find out more information on the Big Shift Website.
Cycling support

Community Parklets
January and February saw the installation of 5 Community Parklets!
Meristem’s team braved the winter weather and installed the first batch of parklets. The parklets will serve as community hubs for residents, who have reached out to let us know how they have brightened the street. The parklets provide spaces for socialising and rest where previously there has been none.

An 18-month trial of the amended Street Improvements scheme (including traffic filters) has been approved using an experimental traffic order
A combined statutory consultation on the proposed introduction of parking controls and continuation of a two-way protected cycle rack and pedestrian and crossings along Rosendale Road.
Before this project can go ahead, a statutory consultation relating to specific traffic orders, will take place before the end of March for 5 weeks.
Details of how and when to submit representations will be circulated in the next update and by post.
Only representations received within the statutory consultation period will be considered before a final decision is made.
The Street Improvements trial will commence in the summer for up to 18 months.
Representations can be made within the first 6 months of the trial
Details of how and when to submit representations will be circulated closer to the time.
Only representations received within the statutory consultation period will be considered.
Any decisions on changes to the scheme will be made after the first 6 months and once 2 stages of traffic data monitoring have been completed.
The Decision Report approving the next steps for these three projects was published last week and can be viewed here.
Lambeth council would like to thank the West Dulwich community for their contributions which have helped shape updated proposals for all three projects.
Hello,
We want your viewsWe are writing to inform you about three new changes to parking charges being proposed as part of Lambeth Council's commitment to reaching Net Zero by 2030.
As someone who may be interested in these changes, we would like to ask your opinion.
The proposed changes include:
• extending emissions-based charging for motorcycle resident permits;
• extending the diesel surcharge to diesel vehicles that are Euro 6 compliant;
• introducing a surcharge for second and subsequent permits within the same household
Visit the consultation page to find out more and to give your feedback. You have until Friday, 23 February 2024.
Why are we doing this?Around a quarter of Lambeth's annual emissions are caused by vehicles, despite the borough having one of the lowest car ownership rates in London.
In the next six years, we need to reduce the amount of traffic on our streets by 27% and this will require a mixture of helping people switch to other forms of active travel, whilst also ensuring the price of kerbside parking reflects the impact the emissions have on our shared environment. This is in line with our kerbside strategyadopted in January 2023.
We believe these proposals will:
• Reduce parking pressures
• Relieve congestion
• Improve air quality by reducing carbon emissions
Have your sayWe'd like to invite your views on these proposed changes so we're running a statutory consultation until Friday, 23 February 2024.
Yours sincerely,
Lambeth Parking Services

Elm Park Shopping Parade Improvements
We’re excited to share the design for the Elm Park shopping parade. Thank you to everyone who participated in our engagement activities. Your contributions have enabled us to design a space uniquely tailored to your community.
Planned changes, set for implementation in the Spring 2024, aim to encourage more walking, wheeling and cycling while boosting the local economy and making Tulse Hill more resilient to climate changes. The improvements support Lambeth Council’s Kerbside Strategy, which intends to dedicate a quarter of road space to sustainable uses by 2030, aligning with our Climate Action Plan.
View a larger image of the design and find out more about it here: Elm Park Shopping Parade
If you have further questions, we invite you to join our online Question and Answer session. This session will be with the cabinet member and team on 29th January from 6pm to 7:30pm. We hope you can join us. This is a resident-focused session as there will be separate engagement with businesses.
Please register here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/lambethcouncil/1121553
Happy New Year!
This January we would like to take the time to celebrate all that the Big Shift has achieved in 2023. Most of these projects are ongoing so if you would like to get involved head to the Big Shift website for more information or email bigshift@lambeth.gov.uk if you have a question.

Community Fund Parklets
The Big Shift launched the Community Fund Parklet scheme in April 2023. Phase 1 will see the installation of 6 parklets in early 2024 and the phase 2 application window is still open.
Community Fund Parklets allow for residents, schools and charities to apply to have a mini park on their street. These can create spaces for rest and socialising and bring some much-needed greenery to the streets.
Watch this space for exciting updates as they come!
Business Parklets
This year has seen the launch of not one but two parklet schemes for Lambeth! The Business Parklet scheme was launched in December 2023 and is open for applications currently.
Business Parklets differ from Community Fund Parklets in that they can be designed by the business to suit their needs. Individual businesses or groups of businesses can apply to have their own space in the kerbside.
Bike the Borough
The Big Shift and Cycle Confident held a mass bike ride of six primary schools in July 2023. The ride allowed the children from years 5 and 6 to show off their Bikeability skills and cap off the year with a bit of fun!
The students rode from Brockwell Park to Clapham Common and ended with a picnic in the park to celebrate.
The Big Shift and Cycle Confident have begun planning for the 2024 ride and hope to make it even bigger and better than last year!
Car Free Days
The Big Shift held three separate Car Free Day events throughout 2023. These events involved closing the streets to traffic and opening it up to the public.
The first was held across two days by Brixton Business Improvement District (BID) on Atlantic Road, in June, coinciding with the Lambeth Country Show and London Festival of Architecture. The street had music and activities for all ages, businesses spilled into the road and the extra space for pedestrians during the busy festival was welcomed by many.
The Hannen Road Car Free Day happened in early September. The event was run by Station to Station B, A Small Studio and University of Greenwich. Hannan Road had been highlighted located as a key site for flood risk reduction. The Big Shift Car Free Day aimed to reimagine the street by getting ideas and feedback from all road users as to how the space can be redesigned to increase greening and reduce vehicle dominance.
The last Big Shift Car Free Days of the year were held throughout September on Voltaire Road, in conjunction with Clapham BID. The street was shut to traffic from Friday evenings to Sunday evenings for four weekends. Businesses filled the streets and worked together to set up a performance space and seating for the public to sit and enjoy the show.
Community Influencers
September 2023 saw the launch of the second cohort of Community Influencers.
So far, the Influencers have received their bikes and have been braving the weather to have their cycle lessons with Peddle My Wheels. The influencers are brushing up on their skills and learning valuable safety tips about cycling in poor weather and darker conditions. As the weather slowly improves in 2024, they will be gearing up for even longer rides and making the most out of Lambeth cycle infrastructure to test out their skills.
Lambeth Council will be sharing their journeys over on our social media channels, follow along to see how anyone can make cycling part of their lifestyle.
OurBike
OurBike is our e-cargo bike sharing scheme that launched in 2022 and had its first full year in 2023. 2023 saw a switch up of one location but still a total of seven bikes throughout the borough.
In total, throughout 2023, there were 854 trips, the bikes were ridden for 2031 hours and travelled 3181 kilometres!
We also introduced a new introductory offer that gives new resident sign ups 60 minutes free and new business sign ups 180 minutes! Peddle My Wheels offer lessons for beginners, so if you haven’t given it a go, why not sign up in the new year and try something different?
Bike Markets
Bike Markets are run by Peddle My Wheels, they offer affordable, second-hand bikes and are a place to donate unwanted or outgrown cycles.
In 2023, 23 Bike Markets were held in Lambeth and total of 163 bikes were sold and 99 were donated.
Bikes that are donated are often serviced by UpCYCLE, a charity who help children learn cycling and bike maintenance skills. The serviced bikes were then sold at Bike Markets and have made £4379 to date! All of the money goes back to UpCYCLE to help them teach more children valuable cycling skills.
Try Before You Bike
Try Before You Bike is a scheme run by Peddle My Wheels that is designed to help people try out cycling before committing to buying a bike.
In 2023 there were 63 applications to Try Before You Bike!
Dr Bike
Our Dr Bike session provide the public with free information on bike maintenance and offers the opportunity for the public to get their bike fixed for free.
Lambeth saw 62 Dr Bike sessions in 2023 and in total 1147 bikes were serviced!
Your Streets Your Way
2023 saw the second round of Lambeth’s Your Streets Your Way competition. We had 9 new locations and 9 new winners.
Work has started to make the winner’s designs a reality and we are excited to share updates with you as the work progresses. The first location to be completed is Chestnut Road, where a mural celebrating the area’s historical connection to the Great North Wood has been painted by Simon Hills. If you are in the area, check it out!

The influencers are brushing up on their skills and learning valuable safety tips about cycling in poor weather and darker conditions. As the weather slowly improves in 2024, they will be gearing up for even longer rides and making the most out of Lambeth cycle infrastructure to test out their skills.
Lambeth Council will be sharing their journeys over on our social media channels, follow along to see how anyone can make cycling part of their lifestyle.
OurBike
OurBike is our e-cargo bike sharing scheme that launched in 2022 and had its first full year in 2023. 2023 saw a switch up of one location but still a total of seven bikes throughout the borough.
In total, throughout 2023, there were 854 trips, the bikes were ridden for 2031 hours and travelled 3181 kilometres!
We also introduced a new introductory offer that gives new resident sign ups 60 minutes free and new business sign ups 180 minutes! Peddle My Wheels offer lessons for beginners, so if you haven’t given it a go, why not sign up in the new year and try something different?
Bike Markets
Bike Markets are run by Peddle My Wheels, they offer affordable, second-hand bikes and are a place to donate unwanted or outgrown cycles.
In 2023, 23 Bike Markets were held in Lambeth and total of 163 bikes were sold and 99 were donated.
Bikes that are donated are often serviced by UpCYCLE, a charity who help children learn cycling and bike maintenance skills. The serviced bikes were then sold at Bike Markets and have made £4379 to date! All of the money goes back to UpCYCLE to help them teach more children valuable cycling skills.
Try Before You Bike
Try Before You Bike is a scheme run by Peddle My Wheels that is designed to help people try out cycling before committing to buying a bike.
In 2023 there were 63 applications to Try Before You Bike!
Dr Bike
Our Dr Bike session provide the public with free information on bike maintenance and offers the opportunity for the public to get their bike fixed for free.
Lambeth saw 62 Dr Bike sessions in 2023 and in total 1147 bikes were serviced!
Your Streets Your Way
2023 saw the second round of Lambeth’s Your Streets Your Way competition. We had 9 new locations and 9 new winners.
Work has started to make the winner’s designs a reality and we are excited to share updates with you as the work progresses. The first location to be completed is Chestnut Road, where a mural celebrating the area’s historical connection to the Great North Wood has been painted by Simon Hills. If you are in the area, check it out!
Happy New Year!
This January we would like to take the time to celebrate all that the Big Shift has achieved in 2023. Most of these projects are ongoing so if you would like to get involved head to the Big Shift websitefor more information or email bigshift@lambeth.gov.uk if you have a question.

Community Fund Parklets
The Big Shift launched the Community Fund Parklet scheme in April 2023. Phase 1 will see the installation of 6 parklets in early 2024 and the phase 2 application window is still open.
Community Fund Parklets allow for residents, schools and charities to apply to have a mini park on their street. These can create spaces for rest and socialising and bring some much-needed greenery to the streets.
Watch this space for exciting updates as they come!
Business Parklets
This year has seen the launch of not one but two parklet schemes for Lambeth! The Business Parklet scheme was launched in December 2023 and is open for applications currently.
Business Parklets differ from Community Fund Parklets in that they can be designed by the business to suit their needs. Individual businesses or groups of businesses can apply to have their own space in the kerbside.
Bike the Borough
The Big Shift and Cycle Confident held a mass bike ride of six primary schools in July 2023. The ride allowed the children from years 5 and 6 to show off their Bikeability skills and cap off the year with a bit of fun!
The students rode from Brockwell Park to Clapham Common and ended with a picnic in the park to celebrate.
The Big Shift and Cycle Confident have begun planning for the 2024 ride and hope to make it even bigger and better than last year!
Car Free Days
The Big Shift held three separate Car Free Day events throughout 2023. These events involved closing the streets to traffic and opening it up to the public.
The first was held across two days by Brixton Business Improvement District (BID) on Atlantic Road, in June, coinciding with the Lambeth Country Show and London Festival of Architecture. The street had music and activities for all ages, businesses spilled into the road and the extra space for pedestrians during the busy festival was welcomed by many.
The Hannen Road Car Free Day happened in early September. The event was run by Station to Station B, A Small Studio and University of Greenwich. Hannan Road had been highlighted located as a key site for flood risk reduction. The Big Shift Car Free Day aimed to reimagine the street by getting ideas and feedback from all road users as to how the space can be redesigned to increase greening and reduce vehicle dominance.
The last Big Shift Car Free Days of the year were held throughout September on Voltaire Road, in conjunction with Clapham BID. The street was shut to traffic from Friday evenings to Sunday evenings for four weekends. Businesses filled the streets and worked together to set up a performance space and seating for the public to sit and enjoy the show.

Dockless bays
Lambeth Council is currently installing 191 new dockless bays across the borough for rental e-scooters and e-bikes. Once all the bays are installed, users will be required to park in these bays to enable active travel trips and reduce footway clutter.
View the dockless bay locations here
It will bring the total number to over 240 meaning that most residents will be able to reach a bay within a 5-minute walk. This forms part of a commitment in Lambeth’s Kerbside Strategy to expand the coverage of rental e-scooter and e-bike services across the whole borough.
By January, rental e-scooters will be permitted for use in the south of Lambeth. They have been available for use in the north of the borough since Lambeth joined a trial scheme run by Transport for London and London Councils in July 2021.
The new bays are being installed through Experimental Traffic Orders. Residents who would like to participate in the consultation for the new bays can do so by visiting our consultation page.
Community Fund Parklets
Applications for Community Fund Parklets are still open!
Parklets provide opportunities for communities to design a space on their road to suit their needs. Parklets can provide spaces to grow your own vegetables, a space for children to play, or whatever you’d like!

Lambeth Bus Days
Lambeth Bus Days continue to be a big success with 50 pupils from local schools taking part last week.
Bus Days are an activity set in partnership with Transport for London's Travel Mentoring Service, the Metropolitan Police Safer Transport Team and the bus company Arriva. Bus Days are designed to give children and young people with special needs (and other vulnerable potential passengers) extra confidence to enable them to travel independently and to make full use of London’s bus network.
The monthly sessions take place on a moving red London double-decker bus and feature scenarios covering personal and road safety. Passengers meet the driver and ticket inspectors and have the chance to practice coping with different type of issues that may come up when taking the bus. The police provide us with a team of about 8 officers for the day, Arriva provide the bus and driver, and we have two Travel Mentors from TfL to lead the sessions, plus the time of the Revenue Protection Inspectors who come on the bus.
Car Free Days
After the success of the Big Shift Car Free Days over 2023, we are looking to extend the opportunity to everyone across the borough.
Businesses, community groups or even a passionate individual can apply to hold a Big Shift Car Free Day in their area.
Car Free Days aim to help reimagine an area away from a space solely dedicated to cars. This could be by allowing businesses to spill out into the road, providing more space for children to play or giving an opportunity to imagine redesigning the road entirely.
If you are interested in a Car Free Day, email bigshift@lambeth.gov.uk to receive an information document about the process.
This December we have a lot of exciting new projects gearing up for the new year and opportunities for residents to get involved in projects they may have missed out on in 2023. If you would like to get involved contact us at bigshift@lambeth.gov.uk for further information.

Dockless bays
Lambeth Council is currently installing 191 new dockless bays across the borough for rental e-scooters and e-bikes. Once all the bays are installed, users will be required to park in these bays to enable active travel trips and reduce footway clutter.
View the dockless bay locations here
It will bring the total number to over 240 meaning that most residents will be able to reach a bay within a 5-minute walk. This forms part of a commitment in Lambeth’s Kerbside Strategy to expand the coverage of rental e-scooter and e-bike services across the whole borough.
By January, rental e-scooters will be permitted for use in the south of Lambeth. They have been available for use in the north of the borough since Lambeth joined a trial scheme run by Transport for London and London Councils in July 2021.
The new bays are being installed through Experimental Traffic Orders. Residents who would like to participate in the consultation for the new bays can do so by visiting our consultation page.
Community Fund Parklets
Applications for Community Fund Parklets are still open!
Parklets provide opportunities for communities to design a space on their road to suit their needs. Parklets can provide spaces to grow your own vegetables, a space for children to play, or whatever you’d like!

Lambeth Bus Days
Lambeth Bus Days continue to be a big success with 50 pupils from local schools taking part last week.
Bus Days are an activity set in partnership with Transport for London's Travel Mentoring Service, the Metropolitan Police Safer Transport Team and the bus company Arriva. Bus Days are designed to give children and young people with special needs (and other vulnerable potential passengers) extra confidence to enable them to travel independently and to make full use of London’s bus network.
The monthly sessions take place on a moving red London double-decker bus and feature scenarios covering personal and road safety. Passengers meet the driver and ticket inspectors and have the chance to practice coping with different type of issues that may come up when taking the bus. The police provide us with a team of about 8 officers for the day, Arriva provide the bus and driver, and we have two Travel Mentors from TfL to lead the sessions, plus the time of the Revenue Protection Inspectors who come on the bus.
Car Free Days
After the success of the Big Shift Car Free Days over 2023, we are looking to extend the opportunity to everyone across the borough.
Businesses, community groups or even a passionate individual can apply to hold a Big Shift Car Free Day in their area.
Car Free Days aim to help reimagine an area away from a space solely dedicated to cars. This could be by allowing businesses to spill out into the road, providing more space for children to play or giving an opportunity to imagine redesigning the road entirely.
If you are interested in a Car Free Day, email bigshift@lambeth.gov.uk to receive an information document about the process.
This December we have a lot of exciting new projects gearing up for the new year and opportunities for residents to get involved in projects they may have missed out on in 2023. If you would like to get involved contact us at bigshift@lambeth.gov.uk for further information.

As you may know, we have been delivering permanent improvement works across Railton LTN. The spaces around the modal filters at Atlantic Road, Marcus Garvey Way, Shakespeare Road and St Matthew’s Road have transformed from signs and planters to places where people can sit and rest, whilst also benefitting from the additional greening and planting.
The final location to undergo construction is Railton Road. You can view the plans on the Commonplace page (linked below).
Construction work is due to begin from Monday 23 October and will last for approximately 6 weeks. Due to the nature of the site, dates may be subject to change however, we will inform you of any changes.
A road closure will be in place on Railton Road between the following junctions:
During construction, no access will be available through the area. The emergency services have been informed of the works (see Commonplace page linked below).
The 322 bus will operate on a diversion route via Effra Road / Morval Road / Dulwich Road (see Commonplace page linked below).
Please use the following link to view the Railton Road plans and diversion plans: https://rtstreets.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/construction-work-to-begin-at-railton-road/step1
October Update:
The Healhty Route and CPZ construction works are on target to be completed by 20 October.
Parking update: Due to ongoing construction preventing parking on Rosendale Road, vehicle-owners who live on Rosnedale Road may park anywhere within the CPZ without needing a permit, until 20 October. More information on timings and contacts can be found here: https://rosendalerd.commonplace.is/edit/proposals/phase-2-turney-road-to-a205
This October we’re focusing on parklets. The second phase of the parklets project is open for applications, see below for more details.
The #LambethBigShift aims to help communities across Lambeth make the most of the of the new greener, healthier infrastructure being put in place. Find out more about our projects below or visit our website. Check back here for regular updates about current and upcoming projects.
Community Fund Parklets Phase 2
Applications for Community Fund Parklets phase 2 are now open!
A parklet is a tiny park, taking up just one parking space. It provides residents with an opportunity to create a space that works for their community. Successful applicants can choose from our catalogue to customise their parklet, choose from foldable seating, planters, game boards, notice boards and more.
Applications close on the 29th of October.

Car Free Days
Throughout September, Lambeth saw several Car Free Days.
The Hannen Road Big Shift car free day held workshops for residents and visitors to share their views on how they use the space. The closure was made possible by the collaborative efforts of Station to Station Business Improvement District, A Small Studio, Soak Up Lambeth, University of Greenwich and Lambeth’s Big Shift. The goal was to reimagine Hannen Road in a way that works for everyone as it moves to a more sustainable future.
Hannen Road was located as a spot for potential Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) installation. SuDS help improve climate resilience in an area by improving the drainage of rainwater via sustainable means, as opposed to older forms of drainage that rely on outdated systems that are no longer fit for purpose. Hannen Road was located as a potential area as it lies uphill and can therefore collect rainwater as it falls before it flows downhill and causes flooding. The Big Shift car free day served as the first phase of the co-design process. Co-design allows for all parties involved to have their ideas and needs taken into consideration before any plans are drawn up. By using co-design, the Council aims to create a space that works for everyone.
Check out the results of the Hannen Road workshops on A Small Studio’s YouTube channel.
Voltaire Road closed to vehicles for 4 weekends throughout September as part of Big Shift car free days project. Local businesses spilled out into the street and created more spaces for visitors to enjoy. The opening of the space for public use proved to be a positive change as many visitors shared their feedback with the Council.
Finally, National Car Free Day was celebrated on Goding Street. The street was filled with activities for the family and opportunities for people to learn more about active travel.
Car Free Days can take place in many different forms. But ultimately, they each aim to reimagine spaces away from being a place purely for cars. The Big Shift is looking to provide more opportunities for communities and businesses to give Car Free Days a go.
If you or a group you’re part of have an idea for a Car Free Day in Spring / Summer 2024, contact bigshift@lambeth.gov.uk with your thoughts.

Over the next year these beginner cyclists will embark on their biking journeys. We will chronicle their progress throughout the year and use their experiences to help inspire others to give it a go. The influencers will be given information to help signpost others to cycling support, so if you see them at an active travel event, say hello!
West Norwood Shared Electric Van
Station to Station business improvement district (BID), Lambeth Council and Zipcar have partnered to provide an electric van for members of the BID to use. The van will help local business to reduce emissions and local traffic as outlined in the Kerbside Strategy.
This October we’re focusing on parklets. The second phase of the parklets project is open for applications, see below for more details.
The #LambethBigShift aims to help communities across Lambeth make the most of the of the new greener, healthier infrastructure being put in place. Find out more about our projects below or visit our website. Check back here for regular updates about current and upcoming projects.
Community Fund Parklets Phase 2
Applications for Community Fund Parklets phase 2 are now open!
A parklet is a tiny park, taking up just one parking space. It provides residents with an opportunity to create a space that works for their community. Successful applicants can choose from our catalogue to customise their parklet, choose from foldable seating, planters, game boards, notice boards and more.
Applications close on the 29th of October.

Car Free Days
Throughout September, Lambeth saw several Car Free Days.
The Hannen Road Big Shift car free day held workshops for residents and visitors to share their views on how they use the space. The closure was made possible by the collaborative efforts of Station to Station Business Improvement District, A Small Studio, Soak Up Lambeth, University of Greenwich and Lambeth’s Big Shift. The goal was to reimagine Hannen Road in a way that works for everyone as it moves to a more sustainable future.
Hannen Road was located as a spot for potential Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) installation. SuDS help improve climate resilience in an area by improving the drainage of rainwater via sustainable means, as opposed to older forms of drainage that rely on outdated systems that are no longer fit for purpose. Hannen Road was located as a potential area as it lies uphill and can therefore collect rainwater as it falls before it flows downhill and causes flooding. The Big Shift car free day served as the first phase of the co-design process. Co-design allows for all parties involved to have their ideas and needs taken into consideration before any plans are drawn up. By using co-design, the Council aims to create a space that works for everyone.
Check out the results of the Hannen Road workshops on A Small Studio’s YouTube channel.
Voltaire Road closed to vehicles for 4 weekends throughout September as part of Big Shift car free days project. Local businesses spilled out into the street and created more spaces for visitors to enjoy. The opening of the space for public use proved to be a positive change as many visitors shared their feedback with the Council.
Finally, National Car Free Day was celebrated on Goding Street. The street was filled with activities for the family and opportunities for people to learn more about active travel.
Car Free Days can take place in many different forms. But ultimately, they each aim to reimagine spaces away from being a place purely for cars. The Big Shift is looking to provide more opportunities for communities and businesses to give Car Free Days a go.
If you or a group you’re part of have an idea for a Car Free Day in Spring / Summer 2024, contact bigshift@lambeth.gov.uk with your thoughts.

Dear all,
With the installation of the additional filters within the Ferndale LTN, people using a vehicle may need to change their journey route to access their home.
Below we have clarified the changes within the Ferndale LTN and the effect of this on commonly used routes:
The improvements comprise the following:
- Removal of traffic filter on Concanon Road
- Introduction of a new traffic filter on Santley Street between Ducie Street and Concanon Road
- Introduction of a new traffic filter on Ferndale Road between Ducie Street and Medwin Street
The removal of the filter on Concanon Road will lead to changes for residents/visitors travelling by vehicle to the following streets/areas:
- Dolman Street
- Glendall Street
- Bythorn Street
- Edmundsbury Court Estate
Drivers can now gain access to the destinations above by travelling from Acre Lane and Concanon Road.
Access for those on Ducie Street and Tintern street can be gained by turning into Ferndale Road via Bedford Road.
Access for those on Santley Street, Medwin Street and Allardyce Street can be gained via Concanon Road.
It should be noted, for those using active travel modes, such as walking, cycling, wheeling, and scooting, the new filters will not impact your journeys within Ferndale LTN.
We hope this helps with planning your journey.
For any further queries please forward these to lowtrafficneighbourhoods@lambeth.gov.uk
Kind regards
Community Streets Design Team
We will be installing planters, signs, and lines at two locations in Ferndale Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN). These changes aim to distribute traffic more evenly within the LTN and alleviate pressure on Ferndale Road.
Works will be carried out in the following locations:
These works will be carried out from 27th to the 29th of September 2023.
Your cooperation is essential, and we request that you do not park in the areas affected by the proposed works. The works may cause some disruption, but all efforts will be made to keep inconvenience to a minimum for the duration of the works.
Should you have any questions relating to the scheme objectives please contact lowtrafficneighbourhoods@lambeth.gov.uk.
Questions related to the Traffic Management and day works please contact Ringway on 0845 646 0059 - Lambeth.schemes@ringway.co.uk.
How will the changes impact my journey?
For those using active travel modes, such as walking, cycling, wheeling and scooting, the new filters will not impact your journeys within Ferndale LTN.
For those who wish to access the LTN by vehicle, access to the green zone will now be via Ferndale Road / Bedford Road. The purple zone has now reduced in size meaning that residents in the eastern end of the purple zone will now enter/exit via Acre Lane.
Cllr Chowdhury, Cabinet Member for Sustainable Lambeth and Clean Air, has taken the decision to make the traffic filter on Larkhall Rise Bridge permanent, making the bridge a pedestrian and cycle only zone.
The decision became official on 11/09/2023 and authorises creation of the permanent traffic order (replacing the former experimental traffic order). The decision report, detailing the rationale and responses to representations received, is available here: Decision - Larkhall Rise Bridge pedestrian and cycle only zone | Lambeth Council.
The traffic filter reduces traffic on Cycleway 5 to levels that meet TfL's cycling quality standards and Lambeth's Healhty Routes criteria, by prohibiting motor vehicles from crossing Larkhall Rise Bridge, except emergency, waste and those with registered dispensation (e.g. blue badge holders).
Lambeth is committed to exploring additional improvements to the existing traffic filter and the surrounding area, to make walking/wheeling and cycling safer, more enjoyable, and more accessible.
Updates and future proposals will be posted on the Cycleway 5 commonplace website: https://quietway5.commonplace.is/
Lambeth council would like to thank the local community for their contributions throughout the trial period.
September Update:
The civils work at the Turney Road and Dalkeith junction area (including the zebra crossing outside Turney school), will be completed before the start of the school term.
The remaining civils work and carriageway resurfacing along the rest of Rosendale Road will require an additional 3 weeks to complete from the original planned end date.
Details of the works:
The zebra crossing on Turney Road will be completed ahead of schedule and the temporary lights will be removed before the school term starts on 4 September.
Phase 3a: This phase is for the civils work around the Lovelace junction area, including the new cycle lane, zebra crossings and raised table. Target date for completion = 8 September.
Phase 7: This phase will be the carriageway resurfacing, followed by the road markings for the cycle lane and parking bays. This is from the Rosendale Road/Lovelace Road junction to the A205 South Circular.
Phase 8: This phase is the final carriageway resurfacing and road marking from Rosendale Road south of Dalkeith to the Lovelace Junction.Target compleion date = 20 October.
Reason for programme extension:
The reason for programme extension is due to the presence of a 24-inch Intermediate Pressure (IP) Gas Main. Upon excavation this pipe was higher than expected. Scottish Gas Network (SGN) has placed extra restrictions for working safely in the vicinity of this IP Gas main. The contractor will need to hand-dig in a number of areas to safely manoeuvre around the gas main, meaning this will take longer to complete the work.
In addition to this, there is presence of an unforeseen material under the carriageway, (Hoggin) which, if exposed to rain, will result in damaging the existing road construction. Careful excavation planning is required to avoid this from happening, which in turn has increased the amount of time needed to resurface.
However, Turney Road and Dalkeith junction area will be accessible from the North of Rosendale Road. This route will remain open from 4 September onwards.
Important things to note:
During resurfacing, no vehicles are to be parked in the resurfacing area. Please relocate your vehciles to a nearby road prior to resurfacing work commencing. Vehicles that are not moved will have to be relocated (details on how to find a relocated vehicle are below).
During the work phases the road will be closed, this means there will be no vehicular access within or across the area and no parking while works are being carried out for safety reasons. However, there will be intermittent access for residents during the works, and residents will have full access after-hours (18:00 onwards). During the day when construction is ongoing, access will be limited, depending on which section is being constructed.
Temporary Traffic Orders will be in place to support the ‘No Parking’ cones and signage. Vehicles parked in the coned areas run the risk of receiving a Penalty Charge Notice and possible relocation.
If your vehicle is relocated, please contact Towed Vehicle Tracing Service (TRACE) customer services helpdesk on 0300 077 0100. Vehicles will be allowed back onto the road once the work is complete and where the cones and warning signs have been removed.
If you have any special requirements or need to arrange access for people with disabilities, please contact us on the email address provided below.

Construction of Phase 2 of the Healthy Route and the Tulse Hill CPZ extension began on 24th July.
UPDATE: The new zebra crossing outside the entrances to Rosendale and Turney schools will now be constructed between 14th August – 28th August, to be completed before the end of the school summer break. This is a change from construction taking place during the October Half term, as originally planned. This change means that the new zebra crossing will be in place and operational when the school term restarts, enabling pupils, parents/carers and teachers to cross to and from school safely. More information on the construction timetable can be found here: https://rosendalerd.commonplace.is/proposals/phase-2-turney-road-to-a205/step2

The inaugural Bike the Borough event saw more than 80 school children showcase cycling skills while being supported by school staff, cycling police officers and instructors from Cycle Confident.
The Bike the Borough event was organised through Lambeth Council’s Big Shift programme to encourage people to consider more sustainable and active ways to move around their local areas.
The event was a great success with everyone involved having a great time. We hope to make it even bigger and better next year.

Applying to become a parklet keeper means that you will have the chance to design a parklet for your road. Parklet keepers are responsible for maintaining and caring for the parklet and ensuring that it is a welcoming place for the whole community to enjoy.

We will be walking the route that runs along Landor Road to hear your thoughts about walking accessibility. This is an opportunity for residents to assist in the design of their local area by planning the improvements that they want on this route . This could mean more places to rest, a greater number of trees and shaded spots, or a new crossing for your road.
This project is part of the Year 1 delivery of Lambeth Council's Kerbside Strategy. To read more: https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/streets-roads-transport/lambeth-kerbside-strategy
We will be asking participants to complete improvement maps to highlight the key 'problem' areas. The walk will take around an hour with a number of planned stopping places. We welcome all to join however any children or young people attending must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are only available for over 18s.
We will be emailing participants ASAP to confirm which session you have been allocated. We will also confirm the details of the activity.

The council runs a monthly Bus Day where children and young people with special educational needs are assisted to use the London bus network. The sessions take place on a moving red London double-decker bus and feature scenarios covering personal and road safety. Pupils meet the driver and ticket inspectors and have the chance to practise coping with issues like what to do if they get lost, witness a crime or get into trouble.
Community Influencers
We have a team of brilliant, friendly volunteers who are passionate about getting more people to try cycling as a green and healthy way to travel around Lambeth.
They’re all Lambeth residents, so they know the borough well.
Many of our volunteers didn’t cycle at first. They wanted to, but they didn’t have a bike, didn’t feel confident out on the road or hadn’t even thought about it until we introduced the Community Influencer Programme.
This spring, you’ll be able to meet the Community Influencers at events across the borough. Watch this space for further details soon!

We are proposing changes to improve the Ferndale Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) scheme. These improvements aim to distribute traffic more evenly within the LTN.
Background:
Since the LTN was made permanent in August 2022, we have continued to monitor the performance of the road network as part of the Council’s ongoing monitoring strategy. Officers have also been working with the local community to identify opportunities to improve Ferndale LTN.
Traffic counts carried out in both October 2020 and November 2021 indicated there had been an increase in vehicles on Ferndale Road (West). This is likely because most traffic entering the southern half of the Ferndale LTN accesses via Ferndale Road (West). This increase in traffic has been supported by feedback received from residents who shared details on how this was impacting their lives.
Proposals:
To alleviate pressure on Ferndale Road and reduce the number of vehicles accessing the LTN via Ferndale Road (West), we are proposing the following changes;
The map below provides an overview of the Ferndale LTN configuration with the proposed additional filters in place.
The rationale for these proposals is to distribute traffic more evenly within the LTN by providing additional access routes to the southern part of Ferndale LTN. With the location of the additional filter on Santley Street, access to the south-east section of the LTN will provided via Concanon Road.
The Council is now carrying out a statutory consultation to introduce the two additional modal filters in Ferndale LTN. To view a copy of the decision report, and detailed plans of the proposals please visit our website https://moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?ID=8361.
How can I give my views?
What happens next?
The feedback to the consultation along with officers’ recommendations will be presented in a report to the Cabinet Members for Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air of the Council. Once a decision is made you will be informed accordingly.

Beat the Street Lambeth has been commissioned by Lambeth Borough Council with support from the National Lottery via Sport England. It is being delivered by Intelligent Health. The game aims to get communities to get active and explore the local area.
Children use a card and map which will be provided by participating primary schools, and adults can pick up a free card from one of the distribution points listed on the Beat the Street Lambeth website.
Players then find their nearest "Beat Box" which will appear on lampposts around the borough. There are 136 of these contactless sensors– once the game is underway, simply hover your card over the Beat Box and it will beep and flash to record your points. Your first visit to a Beat Box registers the journey; then walk, cycle or roll to the next Beat Box within an hour to score 10 points.
The game runs from the 22 June to 3 August.
For more information visit www.beatthestreet.me/lambeth.

You can also share your views at drop in sessions where you can navigate the 3D model in real-time and get a closer look at the detailed proposals.
St Matthews
Railton
The proposals radically changing the way streets are used and feel, creating more space for walking, wheeling and cycling, introducing more greenery and features such as play equipment, seating and cycling parking.
The concepts for the LTN will be presented with the aide of a detailed 3D model of each neighbourhood to showcase the proposed improvements and gather public suggestions.
Lambeth council has been working with Vu.City to use its 3D modelling platform to accurately map the local streets including roads, buildings and public spaces.
South London-based Cityscape Digital has been commissioned to add detail to the model and incorporate the proposed street designs to represent how the designs would look once installed.
Please share information of the workshops with neighbours, friends and family in the locality.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Proposals for the Railton LTN focus on Shakespeare Road, Railton Road South and St Matthews Road.

The council is also hosting drop-in sessions where members of the public can navigate the 3D model in real-time and get a closer look at the detailed proposals.
Railton LTN was introduced two years ago as emergency measures during the Covid-19 crisis. After a trial phase and extensive public consultation, the LTN was made permanent at the end of last year.
The implementation of low traffic neighbourhoods can help reduce traffic volumes, reduce levels of air pollution, and reduce road danger, and also enable active forms of travel.
Feedback from the public will be considered before Lambeth Council presents the final designs and work would begin later this year.
Cllr Rezina Chowdhury, cabinet member for Sustainable Lambeth and Clean Air, said: “This is the first time we have used detailed 3D modelling to showcase neighbourhood enhancements.
“We have worked closely with two exciting tech start-ups to produce an accurate representation of what we want to do.
“During our three drop-in sessions members of the public will be able to interact with the 3D model to understand the detail of each proposed improvement. Those who cannot make the sessions can view an online video of the 3D model to see the designs for themselves.
“This digital approach greatly improves accessibility for residents, employees and businesses as well as enhancing their ability to share their views on the future of these neighbourhoods.”
Residents, businesses, and those who live or work in the area can give feedback via the Railton Commonplace from Monday June 13 until 11.59pm on Sunday July 17.
You can also share your views at drop in sessions:

Later this month, we are installing a new walking and cycle crossing on Leigham Court Road, at the junction with Mount Nod Road & Leigham Avenue. The crossing is a key part of Lambeth’s Healthy Route Network linking Streatham to Brockwell Park and beyond. In order to improve this location for walking and cycling, we will be installing:
The Healthy Route connects Lambeth to neighbouring Southwark using mainly quiet residential streets. Phase 1 of the project is underway, with some walking and cycling improvements already in place on Norwood and Rosendale Road. Phase 2 will see further improvements, to enable more people to walk and cycle safely.
Location :
Mount Nod Road x Leigham Court Road x Leigham Avenue Junction
Description :
Parallel Zebra : A new dedicated crossing facility with segregated walking and cycling provision
Raised Table : Raising carriageway level to zebra crossing level
Banned Right Turn : For drivers exiting Mount Nod Road onto Leigham Court Road
Works will commence from 7.30am Monday 28th February for 11 weeks.
To facilitate these works safely, our contractor Ringway will need to put the following traffic management measures in place for the duration of the works.
At the end of the allotted works period, the junction will be closed completely overnight for 3 consecutive nights to carry out carriageway surfacing works and road marking works. We will be sending a follow-up letter to inform you of the exact dates that these works will take place.
It is expected that all works for this scheme will be completed within 12 weeks, provided there are no unforeseen circumstances or weather conditions that delay or prevent works taking place.
If you wish to contact Lambeth Council for any other matters relating to the works being undertaken, please contact Highways on 020 7926 9000, or email Lambeth.schemes@ringway.co.uk

This is an update from the Low Traffic Neighbourhood team at Lambeth Council.
The Tulse Hill consultation is ongoing. We have had a strong response to the survey so far and would encourage those who are yet to complete the survey to do so by 11.59pm Sunday 19th December.
As always, our lowtrafficneighbourhoods@lambeth.gov.uk inbox is also open for questions and feedback. Since the start of the consultation on the 15th of November we have held five pop-up stalls at various times and place to provide residents with more information on completing the surveys. At the stalls we have had mechanics hosting Dr Bike sessions and Transport Police doing bike security marking, through a partnership with the UK’s largest cycle database BikeRegister.
Young people were asked their thoughts on the borough’s transport network at sessions in High Trees community centre.
Joyriders
Joyriders is an organisation that supports women to gain confidence in their riding skills to the point where they are happy and comfortable riding a bike independently. Since April 2021 they have trained 90 ride leaders and run 259 rides for 1600+ women, across 4 cities. JoyRiders' #WinterChallenge is their main fundraising event of the year. This year they are challenging you - and anyone you know who rides a bike - to help them reach a 100,000 mile target. All rides between 1st December and 28th February count... and you can either upload directly, or link to Strava to record your rides.

Brixton Hill
We want to ask you about the local issues regarding traffic, air quality, green spaces and the public realm in the Brixton Hill Area. We know that as we move into the future, the risks associated with our changing climate, such as flooding or extreme heat events, will increase. Therefore, we want to improve the local area to make it more resilient to the challenges of the future, whilst also creating a low traffic neighbourhood where it is easier and safer to walk and cycle for all.
A Brixton Hill Commonplace page went live 10th of December 2021, where you can leave your comments. For those who have not got access to the internet or would like to get involved in face-to-face or online events to have their say and help us design an LTN that works for everyone, here’s how else you can get involved:

As always, our lowtrafficneighbourhoods@lambeth.gov.uk inbox is also open for questions and feedback.
Since 15th November, we have held discussions with various stakeholders in the area in Q&A sessions, working towards solutions and hearing their thoughts on certain issues. One such focus was on how the LTN has impacted certain schools, and this provided valuable feedback for the consultation.
Five pop up stalls have been held at various places since 15th November to provide residents with more information on completing the surveys. We’ve had mechanics at our sessions to help fix and maintain people’s bikes, as well as balance bike lessons for young ones. The stalls have served as a valuable source of feedback from residents, businesses, and many more. Councillors were present on occasion and were able to discuss matters with a host of visitors.

Streatham Wells
The initial response to our launch of the Commonplace has resulted in plenty of feedback from the community and will be analysed extensively to identify issues in and around the Streatham Wells area. We have also started meeting with key stakeholders, including group representatives and councillors, who have provided further valuable insight into transport and public realm considerations in the area. Lamppost posters have been installed around Streatham Wells to promote the Commonplace. We would encourage you to spread the word and encourage further feedback!
This is an update from the Low Traffic Neighbourhood team at Lambeth Council.
Low Traffic Neighbourhood Consultation Streatham HillHave your say…
We’re asking people who live, work and travel in the trial low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) to share their views by doing a survey.
We want your views because we’re considering making the changes permanent. This is because we’ve monitored the LTN and evidence shows that it’s achieving its aim of reducing traffic in the area.
Why the LTN was introduced
We put in LTNs, which use measures such as traffic filters, to help reduce motor vehicle traffic. With less traffic we aim to:
• improve road safety for all users
• encourage travel in more active and healthy ways
• support the local economy and make streets nicer places to be
• reduce air pollution and improve air quality
• help prevent climate change
LTNs were recommended in our long-term transport strategy agreed in 2019. They were introduced more quickly than planned because of Covid-19.
You can pre-register for the survey now by filling out your details here (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/VFX98F5)
Need help with the survey?
While the consultation is running, we’ll be out in the area and can help you complete the survey on a tablet or answer quick questions. You can find us at:
• Tulse Hill Station (Palace Road/Leigham Vale junction) on Wednesday 17 November from 9am to 11am
• Christ Church on Saturday 20 November from 12pm to 2pm
• Hillside Passage on Wednesday 24 November from 2pm to 4pm
• Junction of Leigham Ave and Leigham Court Road on Monday 29 November from 2pm to 4pm
• ‘ Doodlebug Garden’ (junction of Wavertree Road and Daysbrook Road) on Wednesday 8 December from 9am to 11am
At these sessions we’ll also be offering free cycle repairs, and at Hillside Passage we’ll also be offering free cycle training for children aged 4 to 7.
Your Streets Your WayEarlier this year the ‘Your Streets Your Way’ competition launched aiming to involve local people in designing changes on their streets that could be translated into real world projects. 10 locations were chosen across Lambeth's 5 low traffic neighbourhoods to be redesigned.
72 people submitted designs and judges awarded prizes for the categories of Winner, Runner Up and Judge’s Choice. Below are the winners of each location:
Ferndale- Bedford House, Samir (u18)
Oval- Mursell Estate , Lidia Gherghe
Oval- Dorset Road, Grace Thomas
Oval- Claylands Path, Tor Ewen
Railton- Somerleyton Passage, Nick Saiger
Railton- St Matthews , Location withdrawn due to lack of submissions
Streatham- Livity Passage, Divya Scialo
Streatham- Hillside Passage, Vladimir Guculak
Tulse Hill, Roupell Park Estate, Fair-Rose (u18)
Tulse Hill, Fairview Place , Location withdrawn due to lack of submissions
The scale of some of these projects mean they need technical expertise in order to develop the winning ideas into detailed designs- these will be managed by landscape architects at Sustrans. Other projects have designs that are ready to be translated on the ground, these will be managed and built by local organisation In-Use, Re-Use. All of the designs are subject to engagement from local residents and stakeholders.
Upcoming Sustrans Engagement events• Tuesday 9th of November: Notice boards are being erected at winning locations to inform the local community about the project. The boards will include a QR code which links to an audio recording of the winners describing their designs and inspirations.
• The Sustrans team will be running pop ups at all of the sites to talk to the local community and stakeholders and have invited the winners to attend. See details below:
• Thursday 11th November: Roupell Park Estate Pop Up 3-5pm – Holmewood Road on the green space in front of Thursley House
• Friday 12th November: Bedford House Pop Up 11:30am-1:30pm – Hetherington Road pedestrian entrance to Bedford House

• food
• transport
• energy
• waste and consumption
• the natural environment.
You do not need to be an expert in any of these areas to apply. They are particularly interested to hear from people starting to think about taking action on climate change in their communities. To find out more information visit their site here.

Lambeth Council is set to launch a consultation next month into two Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) schemes as part of our plans to create safer, healthier streets. The council is seeking the views of residents and businesses around the Tulse Hill and Streatham Hill LTNs as we consider whether to make the changes permanent. Both LTNs were introduced as temporary measures last year aimed at reducing motor vehicle traffic from certain residential roads. Residents and businesses will be able to take part in the consultation by completing a short online survey from November 15.
Cllr Danny Adilypour, joint Cabinet Member for Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air, said: “Throughout the trial phase of both low traffic neighbourhoods, the council has listened to the views of local people who live, or work, or travel through, Tulse Hill and Streatham Hill. This is a chance for you to provide feedback on the scheme, suggest improvements or highlight related issues in your neighbourhood before we make a final decision.”
Lambeth Council has been monitoring traffic volume and air quality around both the trial Tulse Hill and Streatham Hill LTNs. Monitoring data shows vehicle traffic was reduced by 6,100 vehicles a day within Streatham Hill LTN trail, while the number of cycling journeys has increased by 55 percent. In Tulse Hill there vehicle journeys decreased by 2,000 vehicles a day and there was a 92 percent rise in cycle journeys throughout the trial period.
A consultation was carried out into the Oval to Stockwell and Railton LTNs in September and responses are now being analysed before a final decision is made. A consultation into the Ferndale LTN trial will take place over the coming months.
Lambeth Council was the first London borough to declare a climate emergency and is committed to taking bold steps to create a greener, healthier borough that is more climate resilient. The council has set a target to be carbon neutral by 2030 and is exploring a range of measures to ensure cleaner air and safe space for cyclists and pedestrians.
Cllr Adilypour added: “We believe the use of low traffic neighbourhoods can help reduce traffic, improve road safety and enable active travel such as walking or cycling. Less dependence on motor vehicle use means we can reduce air pollution and improve air quality. Low traffic neighbourhoods are an effective way to create safer, greener and less polluted streets that respond to the challenges of the climate emergency.”
The consultation will run from November 15 on both Streatham Hill and Tulse Hill low traffic neighbourhoods.
For information visit the Tulse Hill commonplace or the Streatham Hill commonplace. Pre-registration is now open to receive updates and notifications on either scheme.

This meeting will be taking place on Microsoft Teams.
Consultation Programme Announced:
Lambeth Council has announced the start of its Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTNs) consultation programme, which will see residents given the chance to shape the future of each of the five LTNs that currently operate in the borough. The consultation process will happen in stages over the coming months, beginning with consultation on the Oval to Stockwell and Railton LTNs from September 6.
The consultation will ask whether the LTNs should be made permanent or not and seek local experiences of living and working in and around the areas where the schemes operate, which will be a key input to the decision-making process.
During the consultation there will be a range of engagement activities for local people, who will be asked to share their views through a survey. There will also be opportunities to feedback in person and through targeted events and focus groups for people with specific needs.
LTNs form a key part of Lambeth Council’s Transport Strategy to create a future transport network for Lambeth that is healthier, more inclusive, accessible to all, and that responds to the climate emergency.
Both Railton and Oval to Stockwell LTNs were established in June 2020 under Temporary Traffic Orders and subsequently moved to Experimental Traffic Orders, allowing the schemes to be enforced, data collected and statutory consultation to take place. Three other LTNs – in Tulse Hill, Streatham Hill and Ferndale – will follow the same public consultation process over the coming months.

Vandalism
Unfortunately, there has been repeated criminal damage to the signage, cameras and other equipment used across all LTNS. We want to thank everyone who has reported the issues to the council and patience as we work to resolve the vandalism.
It is costing the Council money to replace and repair equipment. Additionally, residents who have sowed plants and flowers at their own expense have in some cases seen them cut down or torn up.
Cllr Danny Adilypour, joint Cabinet Member for Sustainable Transport, Environment & Clean Air, has said:
“People are entitled to express their views over our Low Traffic Neighbourhood trials, but there is no excuse for acts of criminal vandalism which put our residents at risk and this is not an effective way to engage with the council or fellow residents.“Residents who oppose the schemes or would like to see improvements have many ways to constructively engage with the council, and we’re actively seeking their feedback. Vandalism poses a danger to the public, is criminal and will be treated as such.”You can read more here .
Scheme Refresh
Due to the repeated criminal damage to the signage, cameras and other equipment used in the implementation of the Ferndale Low Traffic Neighbourhood. The scheme was refreshed in Ferndale on Thursday 15th of July.

VandalismUnfortunately, there has been repeated criminal damage to the signage, cameras and other equipment used across all LTNS. We want to thank everyone who has reported the issues to the council and patience as we work to resolve the vandalism.
It is costing the Council money to replace and repair equipment. Additionally, residents who have sowed plants and flowers at their own expense have in some cases seen them cut down or torn up.
Cllr Danny Adilypour, joint Cabinet Member for Sustainable Transport, Environment & Clean Air, has said:
“People are entitled to express their views over our Low Traffic Neighbourhood trials, but there is no excuse for acts of criminal vandalism which put our residents at risk and this is not an effective way to engage with the council or fellow residents.
“Residents who oppose the schemes or would like to see improvements have many ways to constructively engage with the council, and we’re actively seeking their feedback. Vandalism poses a danger to the public, is criminal and will be treated as such.”

Q&A Sessions:We held our latest question and answer session for the Streatham Hill Low Traffic Neighbourhood on Thursday 17th June ‘21’, 6pm. Thank you to everyone who attended and for all those who asked questions and provided feedback. The most common questions answered during the last session included topics around the strategy, consultation and engagement plans, and monitoring. Feedback provided at the sessions was positive and appreciated fuller answers provided.
The recording from June and previous Q&A sessions have been made available to view on the Commonplace – Community meetings page .

Q&A Sessions:We held our latest question and answer session for the Tulse Hill LTN on Thursday 24th June 2021.
Thank you to everyone who attended and for all those who asked questions and provided feedback.
Given a recent rise in vandalism, we discussed the ways teams within the Council are working together with the Police to both prevent and respond to instances of vandalism. Vandalism is criminal damage; it poses a threat to public safety and will not be tolerated. We are grateful to those who have reported vandalism to us. Please continue to share information with us using the lowtrafficneighbourhoods@lambeth.gov.uk.
We received questions around monitoring in relation to the South Circular and Brixton Water Lane. You can read our monitoring strategy and stage one monitoring report online. Our stage two data is currently being analysed which will feed into consultation.
Residents wanted to know other ways the council are supporting more sustainable modes of travel such as more cycle storage, sign-posted walking routes, electric vehicle charging points and communications with freight to create greener delivery methods.
There were also many questions around how we will conduct consultation and make sure we reach beyond a digital audience. We will be sharing more information about this in due course.
The ongoing Citizen's Assembly on the Climate Change was sign-posted. 50 of Lambeth's residents are working together to recommend ways everyone in Lambeth can address climate change and its causes fairly, effectively and quickly. You can find out more here .

Hand Painting and Planting Party"I'm having so much fun!" shouted a 3-year-old decorating the Pulross filters with his hand prints.
On the 11 June around 20 children (and some adults) got involved in the session getting creative and putting their stamp on the planters to cover up graffiti. Head down to planters outside Papas Park to check out their ‘handy’ work.
Father Nature are offering planting parties to local residents, organisations and schools/ nurseries to “adopt” a planter. Bulbs, seeds and refreshments will be provided for you and your community.
To host a planting party this summer, or know anyone who would like to decorate the planters get in touch by searching for ‘Father Nature’ on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook or Email: hello@fathernature.org.uk
This is an update from the Low Traffic Neighbourhood team at Lambeth Council.
Q&A Sessions:We held our latest question and answer session for the Railton LTN, Wednesday 23rd June 2021.

Vandalism:A small minority of people have taken to criminal damage by removing traffic signs in Ferndale LTN.
The removal of signs is not an acceptable form of protest. It is a criminal offence and puts local people, including children, at risk. Lambeth Council takes this very seriously and all vandalism is reported to the police for further investigation.
Threats to residents and staff are also not acceptable and will be reported to the police for further investigation. We encourage anybody who feels unsafe to speak to the police.

The new modal filters will alter how the areas, shown in the map below, can be accessed by motor vehicle. Drivers will need to access Areas 1 and 2 via Leigham Court Road and Area 3 via Leigham Vale.
In the weeks following installation, we will be arranging traffic counts in the area. We are also working on air pollution modelling that will indicate levels of NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 both prior to the LTN and currently.

Dear Residents,
This is an update from the Low Traffic Neighbourhood team at Lambeth Council. Changes to reduce traffic within the LTN have been published.
On Friday 16 April we published a report setting out how we will change the LTN to remove through traffic using streets such as Stockfield Road and Rosedene Avenue. This is in response to resident feedback and counts which showed an increase in traffic since the LTN was introduced. These improvements will ensure the southern area of the low traffic neighbourhood will benefit from being within the LTN. Residents should see the new filters in place before the end of May.
Areas 1 & 2 on the map below, including; Rosedene Avenue, Romeyn Road, Mountearl Gardens, Adare Walk and Mt Nod Road, (south of the junction with Hailsham Avenue including Dunraven Primary) will be accessed from Leigham Court Rd.
Area 3 on the map below, including; Stockfield Road, Hitherfield Road, Mount Nod (north of the junction with Hailsham Ave) Hailsham Avenue, Keymer Road, Lydhurst Avenue and the blue shaded sections of Amesbury Avenue and Faygate Road will be accessed from Leigham Vale.
We will write to affected households in the coming weeks so everyone is aware of the changes and there will be an online Q&A session ahead of the changes.
The following links will take you to the detailed designs for the new modal filters, which will be located at the junction of Rosedene Avenue and Stockfield Road and the second on Mount Nod Road . At the request of the ambulance service we have also included some additional double yellow lines on Mountearl Gardens to make access to the ambulance station easier by preventing delays due to parked cars.
Within our stage 1 review of the LTN, which can be read here , we also committed to review how traffic flows on Leigham Vale can be improved. Details of this will be included in our next newsletter.

Dear Residents,
This is an update from the Low Traffic Neighbourhood team at Lambeth Council.
Works began in Ferndale Low Traffic Neighbourhood on the 14th of April to implement the changes being made to the scheme in response to the Stage 1 monitoring review. The changes include new filters on the Dalyell Road junction with Combermere Road, a new filter on Ferndale Road, and a one-way only restriction for southbound vehicles on Shannon Grove alongside changes to the filter on Pulross Road.
Following feedback, the Pulross Road filter visual has been updated to show the direction which traffic can travel.
• Motor vehicles can travel towards Brixton to the east and Clapham to the west if driving southbound on Dalyell Road.
• The restrictions apply to vehicles on Pulross Road which are heading towards Dalyell Road only.
Please note that to start with warning notices will be issued instead of penalty charge notices to ensure motorists have time to adjust to the new road layout. In this adjustment period warning notices will be sent out instead of penalty charges.
More information and all detailed drawings of the changes can be found on Lambeth’s website here.
The Community Street Design Officers visited Ferndale businesses on the 13th of April to ensure they were up to date with the upcoming road changes and to listen to their feedback. All businesses were invited to a Q&A session to further discuss any questions.
Question and Answer Sessions:The Low Traffic Neighbourhood Team held the first round of Q&As sessions for the Ferndale LTN this week. There were 4 separate events for each of the changes that that are taking place in the area. Recordings of each of these events and written summary will be available to view on the Ferndale Commonplace here.
The next Ferndale LTN Q&A session will be held on the 27th of May.

Installed at over 150 sites across Lambeth, these banners provide a strong visual impact, raising awareness and reminding drivers that the speed limit of 20mph is the law.
Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists make up 80% of serious and fatal collisions on the road.
Reducing vehicle speeds is therefore essential; helping to improve pedestrian safety, encourage confidence amongst cyclists, reduce the likelihood of collisions and create safer environments outside of our schools.
Look out for these new banners around the borough!

Ferndale LTN Stage 1 Monitoring:
Early results from our Stage 1 Monitoring Report are in and include the findings below:
• Car Traffic is down by 46% within the LTN
• Car and goods vehicle flows have increased on Landor Road, with moderate increases on Bedford Road. The level of traffic increase on Landor Road is greater than the volume of traffic that was previously using routes through the LTN so this increase is likely the result of external factors and will be monitored in greater detail at Stage 2.
• Cycling is up by 69% across the LTN
The following changes will come into effect on 5th of April 2021 and the effects will be monitored as part of our stage 2 review:
1. New modal filter on the junction of Dalyell Road and Combermere Road to prevent Combermere Road being used as a through route between Landor Road and Stockwell Road. Additional parking restrictions to ensure visibility is maintained at the junction.
2. Relocation of filters on Pulross Road to improve access to the area east of the filters both here and east of the new filter on Ferndale Road. This includes additional road markings to reinforce the no motor vehicle signage.
3. New modal filter on Ferndale Road to remove through traffic between Bedford Road and Brixton. Additional double yellow line restrictions to protect turning space either side of the modal filter.
4. New southbound no-entry on Shannon Grove to prevent the changes to Pulross Road filter recreating the Landor Road to Acre through route.
Lambeth Made Community Forum- Ferndale Ward:
We attended the online Ferndale Lambeth Made Community Forum 11th of March. We heard from residents about their personal experiences of the LTN and ways we can improve the public realm in the Ferndale area. There was a particular interest in how the council can work with residents to improve the pedestrian experience.
We are appreciating speaking to our colleagues in the safer neighbourhood team and attending these forums to share information and make our neighbourhoods safer.
To attend the next session regarding community safety in the Ferndale Ward:

Hi residents,
This is our first in what will be a bi-weekly update on Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN)s. We will use this newsletter to ensure everyone feels informed going forwards. We want to let you know what we've been doing and anything you should look out for/ sign-up to in the coming weeks regarding the respective LTNs.
Oval to Stockwell Triangle LTNImage: View of initial Dorset Road Planter and Notice board and complete with planting.
Father Nature has been busy! A planter and notice board was installed in Dorset Road outside the shopping parade and Broadstone House. The notice board will provide an information point for members of the community to be informed about what is going on within the LTN and provide updates on the upcoming reviews, Q&A sessions and local projects.
Supporting you to walk and cycle:
The next mini ‘Dr Bike’ event in Oval to Stockwell LTN will take place at the corner of Cobbett Street and Dorset Road on 13 March 10:00 – 11:30.

Clapham Road x Stockwell Terrace:
Following the investigation of collisions at the junction of Stockwell terrace and Clapham road, and in response to customer concerns we have liaised with TfL regarding the safety of the junction.
TfL have started exploring installing wands to prevent right turning traffic from Clapham road onto Stockwell terrace. Whilst a timeline for installation is being confirmed we will be conducting traffic counts to assess what the left and right turn split is and monitor whether further interventions would be needed.

Ferndale LTN:Based on community feedback and traffic data gathered during autumn 2020, we are working on alterations to the Ferndale LTN. This should address existing issues and lead to a truly Low Traffic Neighbourhood. We hope to share validated traffic data in a monitoring report in the coming weeks and the consequential changes to the scheme. We will be sending letters to all residents to notify them of the changes.
In collaboration with architects DSDHA, Brixton Pound and HeadstartED. We are inviting younger residents (aged 13-18) to design an improvement to the public space on Pulross Road as part of the Many Different Voices Competition .
Architects DSDHA will be running digital workshops throughout March/ April to help young people with their designs, you can sign-up via the competition webpage.
Vandalism:
We have an ongoing issue with signs being removed or damaged throughout the Ferndale LTN. We are working closely with our Safer Neighbourhood Team and residents to resolve this. It is really important signs remain-up to ensure drivers understand the road layout and ensure the safety of all road users including pedestrians and cyclists.
Please report information about signs being removed or damaged with date and details to:
• SNTLX-Ferndale@met.police.uk
Your Safer Neighbourhood Team Officers are:

Railton LTNEnforcement began in the Railton LTN on 18/01/2021, this included the introduction of a filters on Trelawn, Dalberg and Rattray Road.
Last week we published the Stage 1 Monitoring Report which included the following findings:
• Car traffic down by 31% across the area
• HGVs down 23% across the area
• Cycling up 32% across the area
• Cycling up 51% within LTN
Planters:
Father Nature have been busy transforming the space outside of Hamilton’s Supermarket.
The parklet is a public space with the potential to serve a variety of functions including ;
• a resting space for people walking, running or cycling
• an area for information on community activities
• a place for kids to play
• a convenient waiting area for shoppers
• A place for locking bicycles while shopping
The design of the parklet has been reviewed to ensure it complies with highway requirements, including the implementation of traffic islands and markings.

Tulse Hill LTN:Enforcement began in the Tulse Hill LTN on 18/01/2021, this included the introduction of a modal filter on Arodene Road. We hope to publish the traffic data and community feedback in a Stage 1 Monitoring report by the end of March.
TRA Updates:
We held a Q&A Session with residents of St Martins Estate 10/02/2021. We are happy to meet with Tenants and Residents Associations to update on the progress of the LTN schemes and answer any questions you may have.
Vandalism:
We have an ongoing issue with cameras being moved in the Tulse Hill LTN and we are working closely with our Safer Neighbourhood Team and residents to resolve this. It is important the LTN is enforced so we can gain a clear understanding of how the LTN is impacting traffic flow. With delays to enforcement, we may have to extend the Experimental Traffic Order to gather sufficient data for monitoring.

The council has allowed time for people to get used to the changes as we know that it can take a while to adjust. However, now that the measures have been in place for over 3 months, we have begun enforcement as there is still a small minority of drivers not complying with the measures.
Off the back of feedback received from businesses on Brixton Hill, we have relocated the modal filter planned for Arodene Road to immediately north of the junction with Helix Gardens. This means vehicles will not be able to make a right turn out of Helix Gardens onto Arodene Road.
From 18 January onward enforcement begins and you may be fined £130 if you drive through the modal filters located at:
1. Arodene Road, immediately north of junction with Helix Gardens
2. Leander Road, immediately south of junction with Helix Road
3. Elm Park, immediately north of junction with Craignair Road
4. Upper Tulse Hill, immediately north of junction with Claverdale Road
5. Cotherstone Road, immediately south of junction with Holmewood Gardens
6. Roupell Road, outside no. 41
What happens next?
An ‘experimental traffic order’ covering the scheme came into effect on 18 January 2021. The council will continue to monitor the low traffic neighbourhood in line with our published Monitoring Strategy and will shortly write to you again with data from the first independent traffic assessment that has taken place.
If after 6 months the LTN is meeting its objectives, we may consider making the scheme permanent, only after conducting a public consultation with people in the area.
All monitoring will be collated, analysed and published on this Commonplace. If you wish to make an objection to the Experimental Traffic Order this should be directed to bpoulter@lambeth.gov.uk with the grounds of your objection stated.

We appreciate that it takes some time to get used to new road changes. We have allowed time for this but enforcement has now begun to protect residents against the small minority of drivers that are not complying with the measures.
From 18th January 2021 onward, enforcement begins and you may be fined £130 if you drive through the measures located on:
1. Atlantic Road, between Vining Street and Coldharbour Lane
2. Railton Road, by Marcus Garvey Way
3. Railton Road, between no. 239 and 243, by Herne Place
4. Shakespeare Road, North of the junction with Mayall Road
5. St Matthews Road, immediately outside the Tenants and Residents hall

Hi everyone,
Figures from the first stage of independent traffic monitoring indicate that traffic levels have been cut by over a quarter when taking into account roads inside and on the boundary of the Railton low traffic neighbourhood.
The council recently published its Monitoring Strategy which sets out how it will monitor the low traffic neighbourhoods introduced as part of the council’s emergency transport response to the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year.
Today, the we are able to share early results of the independent traffic assessment undertaken as part of the project’s first review stage whilst data validation continues. Traffic counts were taken across a seven-day period in September this year and compared with a baseline calculated using data from previous years, as well as considering background traffic data for the wider London network.
The figures are startling, showing that as well as an overall reduction in traffic of 27% across the whole area:
The traffic assessments have shown that some improvements to the scheme are needed to ensure that it is a fully functioning low traffic neighbourhood. The changes included in the list below will be implemented in January 2021:
The full stage one review will be published in the New Year and will be made available here
The council will soon be bringing in an experimental traffic order to replace the temporary traffic order under which the LTN is currently in place.
The council will conduct a second review later on in the year which will again include an independent traffic assessment as well as including analysis on the impact of air quality.
Prior to any decision on whether the low traffic neighbourhood will be made permanent or not, the council will conduct a public consultation to gather feedback, which will be considered alongside the available data collected.
If you would like to find out more about the project please get in touch on lowtrafficneighbourhoods@lambeth.gov.uk or call 07860180545
Yours Faithfully,
Lambeth Transport Team
Over the past few months, we have been monitoring how the schemes have been working and have made tweaks and improvements off the back of constructive feedback from local residents and businesses.
We will soon be moving Tulse Hill Low Traffic Neighbourhood onto a formal trial basis using an experimental traffic order, which allow changes to road layouts to be trialled for up to 18 months so that residents can see how the changes work in practice, and share their feedback.
Traffic and air quality will be assessed and reported on transparently, so everyone can see whether the scheme is meeting the objectives set out within the monitoring strategy at the review stages. A public consultation will take place before considering whether it should be made permanent or not.
As transport changes tend to take time to settle in and are affected by many different factors, we will take a flexible approach; if the scheme is meeting its objectives during the 6-month objection period set out within the experimental traffic order process, then consultation on a permanent scheme may begin. If more time is needed to measure its impact, then the trial could be extended and tweaked to address local concerns or cancelled altogether following further review.

Word from the cabinet
Cllr Claire Holland, Deputy Leader of the Council (Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air), said:
At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we recognised the need for urgent action. We swiftly put in place measures to support safe travel on foot, including with mobility aids and by cycle, included adapted cycles at a time when capacity on London’s public transport was down by over 80 per cent. We took action to protect our residents from road danger given the huge increase in speeding reported by the police reported on London’s streets during the pandemic.In normal times, we would have had more time to engage with the community first before introducing these measures. However, the risks posed by the pandemic were stark and immediate, and in line with the statutory guidance issued by government, we introduced the schemes whilst engaging with residents at the same time.I appreciate residents have been asking about the data which the council will be collecting and considering and I’m pleased to publish our monitoring strategy which sets out our approach. Since each scheme went live, we’ve been working with the community to understand how they are working so that we can make improvements. We know that we won’t have got everything right first time, so we’ve been making tweaks and changes based on resident and business feedback.We know that any traffic changes take time to settle as people adapt, and so in this period we’ll be monitoring traffic inside and outside each LTN to understand how people are choosing to travel. We will be out and about in the community as much as coronavirus restrictions allow meeting with residents, schools, businesses and local organisations to understand their views and work with them constructively to identify ways that they can be improved. A full consultation will then take place where everyone will be able to have their say, with views considered alongside the data collected.Only once we’ve gathered this important feedback and data will we make a final decision about whether to make each scheme permanent or to remove it. Throughout the trial period, residents will be kept informed with regular reports that will show a transparent picture of the impact of the schemes.Over the past few months, we have been monitoring how the schemes have been working and have made tweaks and improvements off the back of constructive feedback from local residents and businesses.

Since each scheme went live, we’ve been working with the community to understand how they are working so that we can make improvements. We know that we won’t have got everything right first time, so we’ve been making tweaks and changes based on resident and business feedback. We know that any traffic changes take time to settle as people adapt, and so in this period we’ll be monitoring traffic inside and outside each LTN to understand how people are choosing to travel. We will be out and about in the community as much as coronavirus restrictions allow meeting with residents, schools, businesses and local organisations to understand their views and work with them constructively to identify ways that they can be improved. A full consultation will then take place where everyone will be able to have their say, with views considered alongside the data collected. Only once we’ve gathered this important feedback and data will we make a final decision about whether to make each scheme permanent or to remove it. Throughout the trial period, residents will be kept informed with regular reports that will show a transparent picture of the impact of the schemes.”Over the past few months, we have been monitoring how the schemes have been working and have made tweaks and improvements off the back of constructive feedback from local residents and businesses.
We will soon be moving Tulse Hill Low Traffic Neighbourhood onto a formal trial basis using an experimental traffic order, which allow changes to road layouts to be trialled for up to 18 months so that residents can see how the changes work in practice, and share their feedback.
Traffic and air quality will be assessed and reported on transparently, so everyone can see whether the scheme is meeting the objectives set out within the monitoring strategy at the review stages. A public consultation will take place before considering whether it should be made permanent or not.
As transport changes tend to take time to settle in and are affected by many different factors, we will take a flexible approach; if the scheme is meeting its objectives during the 6-month objection period set out within the experimental traffic order process, then consultation on a permanent scheme may begin. If more time is needed to measure its impact, then the trial could be extended and tweaked to address local concerns or cancelled altogether following further review.

Word from the cabinet
Cllr Claire Holland, Deputy Leader of the Council (Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air), said:
“At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we recognised the need for urgent action. We swiftly put in place measures to support safe travel on foot, including with mobility aids and by cycle, included adapted cycles at a time when capacity on London’s public transport was down by over 80 per cent. We took action to protect our residents from road danger given the huge increase in speeding reported by the police reported on London’s streets during the pandemic. In normal times, we would have had more time to engage with the community first before introducing these measures. However, the risks posed by the pandemic were stark and immediate, and in line with the statutory guidance issued by government, we introduced the schemes whilst engaging with residents at the same time.

Hi everyone,
I am writing to provide an update on our plans to introduce an emergency low traffic neighbourhood in your area. These temporary measures will be introduced for the next few months. We will then look to form proposals for a permanent scheme, which we will develop through engagement with residents.
You may have noticed that work has already taken place to implement modal filters on Sandmere Road and on Concanon Road. Work will soon begin on installing a modal filter on Pulross Road . We are implementing these measures in sequence to carefully monitor the effect of the proposals.
There are several important facts that we want to make sure everyone is aware of:

The “Many Different Voices” project is a 3-in-1 online teamwork, training and competition project, to give school students a chance to be part of the real-life redesign of Lambeth roads.
Lambeth Council’s redesigned roads are part of our safety response to Covid 19. The council has commissioned HeadstartED and DSDHA to run the exciting project which will see school students work on an online project to design improvements to street space in Railton, one of our new Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTN.)

Hi all,
We hope you are keeping well. We have recently added a new page to the website which summarises the initiatives available to assist you to switch short trips to walking and/or cycling. We know if you haven’t cycled in London before it can be daunting. Initiatives such as Try before you bike allow you to access a bike for a low cost monthly fee and Lambeth Bike Buddies puts experienced peddlers in touch with those just starting out. Students also get 25% off a yearly cycle membership for Santander bikes via their Unidays app! To find out more, visit our webpage here .
As you may have seen, footway widening has been implemented on Milkwood Road. We will continue to monitor these changes to ensure they are working for all road users, so If you have any feedback on the new street layout, please do get in touch.
Local cafés and pubs are also due to re-open on Saturday 4th July. If this causes any new areas of concern for social distancing, please let us know via Commonplace.
TfL have also implemented footway widening in the area as part of the ‘Streetspace for London’ programme to enable social distancing. This includes:

Hi everyone,
I am writing to provide an update on our plans to introduce an emergency low traffic neighbourhood in the Railton area.
In line with statutory guidance provided by national government, the council will be stopping through traffic from cutting through the neighbourhood by making temporary changes to the road layout. Work will begin this weekend.
The low traffic neighbourhood will be delivered in two stages:
The Council had been engaging with the community around the creation of a low traffic neighbourhood in the Railton area before the pandemic, as a key part of the Brixton Liveable Neighbourhood programme. The temporary scheme won't get everything right. This website allows us to hear your feedback on what is working and what isn't.
We will implement these plans as an emergency temporary measure. We will be using planters and Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras (ANPR) to enforce the closures. Buses, emergency services, cycles and pedestrians will be able to pass through the closures. Installing signage, cameras and planters will be complete by Monday 29th June. For the first two weeks we will issue warnings but not fines. Through this time we will work to communicate and manage the introduction of these changes in collaboration with local groups.
Once temporary features are installed we’ll work with the local community to pick up and address teething issues and collaborate on community projects to realise the benefits of creating more space for people to walk, cycle, socialise and shop at safe distances. Any permanent changes to road layouts after this temporary emergency response are subject to statutory consultation with the local community.
We are also expanding the pavement area along Atlantic Road, from the junction with Coldharbour Lane to Vining Street and beyond. Social distancing space to support queuing, walking and potential outdoor business space will be created by extending footways into the carriageway. We will do this by introducing flexible space for businesses to load, to accommodate customers social distancing and to provide opportunity for local businesses to using the space created.
For more information please visit the various section of the website https://rtstreets.commonplace.is/ .
If you would like to find out more about the project or apply for a loading permit for your business please get in touch on lowtrafficneighbourhoods@lambeth.gov.uk or call 07860180545
Yours Faithfully,
Lambeth Transport Team
Thank you to everyone who continues to comment. We are nearing 700 now and this week a new location, on Ferndale Road, has emerged as one of the most commented upon areas. The locations in Lambeth with the most comments about footway widening are:
- Milkwood Road
- Tulse Hill
- Hawarden Grove
- Elm Park, in Tulse Hill ward
- Ferndale Road
- Atlantic Road
- Railton Road
Railton Road, Atlantic Road and Ferndale Road are already named in the borough’s Covid19 response as areas we will look at. The other locations listed above have been assessed against the guidance issued by Public Health England to assess the risk of transmission, based on the amount and duration of pedestrian interaction. Using this criteria Tulse Hill, Hawarden Grove and Elm Park are not priorities but options are being looked at for how social distancing can be made easier at the southern end of Milkwood Road.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to our map and highlighted areas where it is difficult to socially distance, so far we have received almost 500 contributions. We won’t be able to respond to each of you individually but will provide a weekly update summarising the most frequent and top-rated comments and inform you of any changes that have been implemented as a result.
At present, we are reviewing the top-rated comments so we can target the priority areas. Areas of concern that have been highlighted so far include the railway bridge on B242 situated in Wandsworth, Milkwood Road, and Tulse Hill. The concerns raised for the B242 have been passed onto Wandsworth Borough Council.
TfL have recently announced plans to assist boroughs to create more space on streets so people can walk or cycle while social distancing, further information can be found here: https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/streetspace-for-london .
Thanks again for your contributions thus far, we will endeavour to accommodate your requests as best as we can and will be directing our limited resources to where they are most needed.
