The most recent Dulwich Community Council meeting agreed to Lib Dem demands by making the following East Dulwich streets 20mph speed limits – Ashbourne, Bassano, Blackwater, Chesterfield and Matham Grove with sinusoidal road humps.
Plus the following roads 20mph speed limits with no road humps – Crystal Palace Road, Goodrich, Heber, Jennings, Landcroft, Landells, Pellatt, Rodwell, Silvester, Thompson and Whateley.

Overall 82% of consultation responses supported the proposals with 16% opposing them.

These 20mph speed limit streets will then only leave 5 streets out of the 65 East Dulwich ward streets with limits greater than 20mph – Barry
Road, East Dulwich Road, East Dulwich Road, Grove Vale, Lordship Lane. Barry Road is a B road and the others A roads making it a tad more compliex to get a sensible 20mph speed limit on them.

They should all be made 20mph speed limit streets but this is fab progress.

I’d like to thank all the residents who have prodded for this and the consultation respondents – but especially the residents of Matham Grove and their petition that crystallized this being one of my priorities for our very limited Cleaner, Greener, Safer money.
