Lewisham council has recently conducted a residents’ consultation in the south Kirkdale area about introducing a 20mph zone to assist traffic calming.
The council report that they issued 693 questionnaires and received 100 replies, a response rate of 14%. Only 62 respondents were in favour of the proposed traffic calming measures.
The highways team conclude: “it is felt that the numbers in support of the 20mph zone are not significant enough to justify its implementation. Therefore that council will not be progressing with the proposal.”

News from Lewisham’s regeneration department about some upcoming road works along Kirkdale:
Over the next few months, the Council’s highway works contractor, F. M. Conway Ltd will be working at various locations along Wells Park Road, Kirkdale (between Dartmouth Road and Sydenham Hill) and Sydenham Hill (Kirkdale roundabout to the junction with Sydenham Rise). These works, funded by Transport for London, will be targeted at reducing traffic speeds and cutting the numbers of personal injury collisions.
Below is a drawing outlining the proposed work, starting at the junction of Kirkdale and Sydenham Hill, where the islands and roundabout will be removed in preparation for the resurfacing work. Resurfacing is scheduled to begin on 7th September 2011, subject to Thames Water repairing the burst water main in the vicinity of the roundabout.
As with all construction works, we anticipate some disruption, but we will try to keep this to a minimum. It may be necessary for us to use temporary traffic lights during the course of the carriageway works to allow it to be carried out safely. At times it may be necessary for owners to move their vehicles. Residents will be notified, in advance, should this be necessary.
