Conversations continue with Council officers and our local politicians to try to make some tangible progress in improving the unacceptable levels of traffic flow on HOME roads. To remind you, it was not always like this! Poorly considered decision making in Addiscombe West, leading to road closures in that ward displaced enormous volumes of traffic onto our roads, meaning we have endured congestion, pollution and accidents for many years now. We must change this situation and the Council has a duty to improve the quality of life for residents and to introduce traffic mitigation onto our roads.

The latest situation is that a bid was put forwarding to TFL by the Council for £50k to approve a scoping / planning exercise in what might be achievable. We are waiting to hear whether this money has been released and, if so, for a meeting to discuss with the Council exactly how this scoping exercise might happen, over what timescale and to what end. As ever, we will keep you posted!
