News on Greener Safer Greenwich

The Leader has taken the decision not to implement the scheme as outlined in the initial engagement, and to continue the monitoring of traffic levels in the area. The Leader’s decision is still subject to call-in* and it will not take effect until 4 February 2022.

The Council had consulted on proposals to introduce closures to stop cars from taking shortcuts through residential roads at strategic locations - Weigall Road, Abergeldie Road and Westhorne Avenue.

The majority of respondents within the area had disagreed or strongly disagreed with the proposals.

Monitoring traffic levels in the area will allow the Council to assess the impact of external changes on streets in the area, in particular, the effect of changes to the road network in neighbouring areas (including in the London Borough of Lewisham), and changes to travel patterns due to the pandemic and subsequent recovery. Any traffic management that might be considered in the future, as a result of monitoring, would be brought forward as a new proposal.
