Glennie Road
Glennie Road and Broxholm Road are a one-way road system for the duration of the roadworks by G.Network over the summer. G.Network are installing fibre optic cable under the road to provide faster broadband to homes.
Over the years many residents have requested a one way system for Glennie and Broxholm as these roads have parking on both sides and leave little room for the through traffic- which can be very busy, particularly in early evenings.
Broxholm Road
These roadworks are a useful test of how a one way system might work in the long term. Traffic is temporarily flowing west to east along Glennie Road and flowing east to west from Royal Circus along Broxholm Road. Highways engineers tell us one of the disadvantages of one way systems is that vehicles tend to speed up.
Please let your local councillors know how the temporary one -way system works for you, as a pedestrian, cyclist or driver, by emailing Cllr Ibtisam Adem iadem@lambeth.gov.uk
There is a major programme underway across the UK for private companies to install fibre optic cable for broadband connection to the internet. The government plans for everyone to have access to the internet by December 2025 when land line telephone numbers will transfer online. For more information see here .

What does evidence from similar schemes elsewhere say? We shouldn’t be guessing like this. Broxholm road is a nightmare to drive down, I avoid it like the plague. But won’t a one way system just encourage drivers to drive too quickly?
St Julians farm road is now a mass of patch work repairs. They shiuld be made to re-lay the whole lot.
