With the introduction of the new ‘temporary’ Tulse Hill low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) scheme, entry and exit from Josephine Avenue, Helix Gardens and Appache Road is now restricted to Brixton Water Lane only. Some people have reported this has led to traffic jams at this already busy junction (maybe exacerbated by the new 24 hours bus lanes introduced on Brixton Hill).
Tulse Hill Lambeth claim “The vast majority of people living in our area don’t have access to a car and we must ensure safe transport options for everyone – including the large numbers of elderly residents and those with mobility issues who don’t travel by car as well as young people, pedestrians and cyclists. Emergency services will be able to pass through the filters/gates that are being installed on Arodene Road, Leander Road, Elm Park, Upper Tulse Hill, Cotherstone Road and Roupell Road (where the 201 bus will also be unaffected). Meanwhile residents/deliveries/visitors will still be able to get to every property – but the route they take may change.”
These schemes are proving contentious as outlined by both the BBC, Guardian Newspaper and Green Party web sites. If you have a view on the new traffic restrictions you can make your voice heard at https://tulsehillltn.commonplace.is/
