Our Healthy Streets: Dulwich Area B Proposal
Our first document (submitted on 27 April 2020), in which we offered to work with Southwark Councillors and Officers to develop modified proposals that would balance the needs of the whole community, such that whatever solution we reached together could be trialled and win everyone’s support.
One Dulwich Proposal for Traffic Restrictions in Area B
In this outline discussion document (submitted to the Council on 28 May 2020 - PLEASE NOTE THIS DOCUMENT WAS IN RESPONSE TO PARAMETERS SET BY OUR COUNCILLORS IN MAY 2020), we set out the background for timed restrictions, as used in School Streets, inner-city restricted traffic zones, and TfL’s Liveable Neighbourhoods, and suggested possible ways of conducting a quick, cheap and easy trial using the existing junction layout.
One Dulwich Response to Experimental Traffic Order
In this document (submitted to the Council on 12 June 2020), we explained, in detail, the grave concerns we had about the rushed - and empirically questionable - proposal to justify the closure of Dulwich Village junction as part of the COVID-19 Post-Lockdown Highway Scheme.
Who closed Dulwich Village junction?
During 2019 and 2020, Southwark Council carried out a public consultation, in three phases, on roads and traffic in Dulwich. An FOI (Freedom of Information) request has revealed the data behind the published results of Phase 2. As documented in this study, Southwark’s claim that there was popular local support for closing Dulwich Village junction is simply untrue.
Has cycling on Calton Avenue gone up by 231%?
We examine one of the central statistics in the July 2021 monitoring report.

Our Healthy Streets - Dulwich (Phase 3)
This website contains information about the proposals put forward by Southwark Council at the end of January 2020. The consultation ran until the beginning of April. ‘Our Healthy Streets - Dulwich’ has now been abandoned.
Covid-19 - Post Lockdown Highway Schemes
The first batch of Experimental Traffic Orders in Dulwich in June 2020. Note the purported aim of “assisting social distancing and promoting cycle and pedestrian safety”.
Email from Councillor Margy Newens 10 June 2020
Note the last paragraph, and particularly “We will continue to work tirelessly to engage with our entire community in a transparent fashion, regardless of the views expressed.”
Email from Councillor Livingstone 19 June 2020
Note paragraph 3, particularly “The measures are flexible as the experimental nature of the trail allows us to make amendments and changes within the first six months. An option will of course be to return the highway arrangements to the original state if the trial is not deemed to be successful.”
