In this document you will find an overview of consultation responses, Lambeth Council’s response to issues raised, conclusion and anticipated construction dates for the schemes. We have prepared a summary for each of the five schemes: 1. Turney Road 2. Lovelace Road/Rosendale Road 3. Rosendale shops 4. Park Hall Road/Rosendale Road 5. Tritton Road/Rosendale Road 1. Turney Road There were 149 responses to the proposals for this scheme of which: 61 (41 per cent), supported or partially supported the proposals: 68 (45 per cent) said they did not support; four (three per cent) were unsure of the proposals, and 16 (11 per cent) had no opinion. Of those 149 responses, 140 (94 per cent) were sent by members of the public and nine (six per cent) by designated stakeholder groups. 102 respondents provided comments. Main issues raised in the Turney Road/Rosendale Road consultation 1) Car parking removal 2) High traffic volumes 3) Access to Rosendale allotments How Lambeth Council plans to proceed on Turney Road Lambeth Council has given careful consideration to all respondents’ comments ahead of finalising any design proposals. In light of residents and local stakeholders’ concerns regarding the proposed car parking removal on the northern side of Turney Road Lambeth Council has decided to exclude this design element from the scheme. However, approximately 12 car parking spaces will still need to be removed to Quietway Q7 | London Borough of Lambeth – West Dulwich area – Five schemes 3 accommodate the implementation of two new zebra crossings to create a better environment for walkers and cyclists. The new design excludes the proposed advisory cycle lanes as there is insufficient width to include such measures without taking away car parking capacity. As a result, cyclists will now adopt the primary position (in the middle of the road) when using the Lambeth section of Turney Road. The new layout creates a visual narrowing and traffic calming effect by introducing a buffer strip directly adjacent to the parking spaces on either side of the carriageway. In addition, minor amendments have also been made to the Turney Road junction with Rosendale Road to ensure all traffic movements are catered for. This includes a parallel pedestrian and cycle zebra crossing to accommodate the cycle movement from Turney Road to Rosendale Road northbound. Access to Rosendale Allotments will be further considered as part of the detailed design stage. In summary, the borough has decided to proceed with the amended design for Turney Road, subject to detailed design work and a further stage of statutory consultation that can potentially bring about design changes in light of further analysis. Lambeth Council considers the amended design brings significant benefits to all road users. A copy of the updated design has been included on page 58. 2.
