Quietways in Dulwich?

Lambeth and Southwark Councils and Transport for London are proposing a Quietway running from Greendale via Calton Avenue and Turney Road into Rosendale Road and up to Gipsy Hill. There is an opportunity for all of us to help create peaceful pleasant streets where children can travel independently. Designs might include measures to reduce motor traffic speed or volume to enable this.

There are no detailed proposals yet, but plenty of opportunity to have a say in plans which might affect traffic and parking in Dulwich. You can give your views to Southwark here. 
Sustrans is leading the community engagement process for this work, and is keen to hear from residents about how we can solve traffic problems in our area and ensure pleasant streets for us to live in.  
All are welcome to discuss potential changes and share view and ideas to inform Southwark and Lambeth plans, by attending any of the following meetings. (Meeting info updated below).
