Trafalgar Road is overloaded and buses delayed by an underused Cycleway 4 and extra West & East LTN traffic
Greenwich Council's Commonplace consultation has been extended until 24 June but Statutory Objections have reached their cut off date
The Royal Borough of Greenwich was statutorily bound to consider written Objections after an initial six month period of the scheme's operation. The Council continues to claim 27 November 2024 as the scheme's 'implementation date', despite failing to provide legally compliant signage until March 2025. In addition, the Council dumped Statutory Orders, accompanying the road closure orders, that implement Government backed safety measures to protect pedestrians at unsafe vehicle turning points that operate throughout the LTNs.
Strong representations have already been made by residents and businesses to save local shops from declining footfall and disrupted deliveries resulting from the scheme at online and in person consultation events. And in the teeth of widespread negativity about the scheme, Council officers have only suggested that changes might be made some months hence.
However, the Consultation period has been extended until 24 June. Lengthened bus journey times are becoming endemic over the area - it's time to let Greenwich know how seriously boundary congestion is affecting every day life.

On Royal Hill, vehicle turning in Gloucester Circus coincides dangerously with peak pedestrian movement as parents and children head home from James Wolfe School: one of several schools where stress on vulnerable children and strain on hard-pressed families are further casualties of LTN orthodoxy.

Why the boundary policy is wrong
The boundary system re-directs traffic from internal LTN 'residential' streets, forcing extra traffic on to main roads. While the boundaries are ignored and unconsidered by official consultation, social injustice is perpetuated.

PJA Consultants' 2023 baseline studies showed excessive pollution and accidents on the boundaries of the Scheme as well as social deprivation beyond the border of the scheme, which TFL's Liveable Streets - the scheme that promotes and funds the scheme - is intended to remedy, not make worse.
