Elder Road/Norwood High Street
Lambeth Council is consulting residents about plans to introduce parking restrictions along Elder Road aimed at improving traffic flow during busy periods. A local residents’ group helped shape some of the proposals, which include two new pedestrian crossings on Elder Road and a pedestrian island on Norwood High Street.
We have asked council officers to make sure that any plans do not increase parking stress on the side roads, and that any crossings are sited in safe locations for pedestrians. Now there’s an opportunity to have your say and we’d like to know what you think. Simply fill in the reply slip below.
Details about the plans are set out below.
- A raised pedestrian crossing outside No. 73 Elder Road opposite the Woodvale Estate shops.
- A pedestrian island outside ‘Scandals’ on Norwood High Street near the junction with Windsor Grove.
- A zebra crossing between Stable Mews and Norwood Park , to provide a safer crossing point between the bus stop and the school.
- Moving the bus stop next to Norwood Park southwards to accommodate the zebra crossing.
- Junction remodelling and anti-skid surfacing at the junction of Elder Road / Crown Lane.
- Pavement build-outs near the Elder Road-Linton Grove junction.
- ‘At Any Time’ waiting and loading restrictions on Elder Road by all side roads intended to improve visibility.
- At other locations on Elder Road, Lambeth Council is proposing one of two options for waiting and loading: (1) No waiting and loading Monday – Saturday 7am – 7pm; or (2) No waiting and loading Monday – Saturday 7am – 7pm and Sunday 7 – 10am and 4 – 7pm.
