Transport for London (TfL) has begun a 2-year roadworks project to improve safety along Streatham Hill and the top of Brixton Hill.

  • New street trees for added shade.

The aim is to reduce accidents and make the area safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

Travel impact:

  • The A23 (London to Brighton road) will remain open to road traffic but with lane closures.
  • Nights of 3rd  & 4th August, Sunday  & Monday,   A23 closed 10pm to 5am.

Streatham Hill trial LTN consultation

The council is consulting on whether to make the Streatham Hill Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN)  permanent. Have your say by completing this online survey. The deadline is midday Sunday 19th December.

You can request a paper copy of the survey, before Sunday 28th November, by phoning 07999 405 331.

The aim of the LTN is to reduce traffic and improve the environment in the local area. To see details of the trial scheme look at:  https://streathamhilllowtrafficneighbourhoodproposals.commonplace.is/

Monitoring of the trial shows that traffic has reduced by 6,100 vehicles a day. Traffic has increased by 7% on Leigham Vale. Cycling has increased and air quality outside schools is within legal limits.

If the LTN is made permanent there will be improvements planned to boundary roads to improve cycling and walking, road layouts, signal timings, and green screens at schools
