Following consultation with Dulwich residents and businesses and an analysis of a range of monitoring data, Southwark Council has published its proposals which aim to improve local streets, increase active travel, improve air quality and ensure local children have a safe and healthy journey to school in the Dulwich area.

The full report can be found here.

The impact on the Southwark/Lambeth cross boundary areas are:

• Shorter timed restrictions across the whole Dulwich area allows traffic to flow more evenly at key junctions during peak times, especially after 4.30pm and evenings.
• Removal of fixed closures and school street timed restrictions also creates more parallel routes easing dispersal for most of each day.
• Work with Lambeth and TfL to explore measures to ease congestion, improve bus journey and promote safer cycling in the Herne Hill area.
• Collaboration with Lambeth to develop a coherent road management strategy in relation to parking controls and enforcement, as well as traffic monitoring and data sharing with the community.
• Additional resources for residents and local groups to improve air quality and road safety along Croxted Road and the adjacent Herne Hill area.
• Investigate strengthening of cycle routes and protection for cyclists along Croxted Road and Herne Hill helps link up key active travel corridors to more routes.
• Replacement of fixed closure with camera gates allows better access for all emergency service vehicles, Blue Badge Holders, taxis and SEND travel to local specialist schools.
