2 Executive summary

Between 1 February and 14 March 2017, we consulted on proposals to extend northbound bus lanes in Streatham High Road between Becmead Avenue and Drewstead Road as part of our London-wide Bus Priority Programme. For the consultation report and our responses to the issues raised during consultation, visit consultations.tfl.gov.uk/streatham-high-road. Between 15 November and 13 December 2017 we consulted on updated proposals to change the parking and loading restrictions on three bays on Streatham High Road, between Becmead Avenue and Drewstead Road. The proposals consulted on included: • Changing the hours of operation of an existing loading and disabled parking bay outside 148 Streatham High Road (Bay 1) • Changing the hours of operation of an existing loading and disabled parking bay outside 60 Streatham High Road (Bay 2) and reducing the length of the bay • Changing the operation of an existing parking bay outside 34-36 Streatham High Road (Bay 3) and reducing the length of the bay These proposals followed a review of the previous consultation responses and surveys of the usage of these parking and loading bay surveys. They were proposed in order to reduce the likelihood of stationary vehicles blocking buses, whilst still providing loading for local businesses and visitors. We received 33 responses to the consultation, with 12 respondents (36%) opposed to one or more aspects of the proposals and nine respondents (27%) supportive of the proposals in general. In addition, 12 respondents (36%) made no comments in support or opposition of the proposals, or commented on other aspects of traffic in the general area. The main themes raised during the consultation are highlighted below, with a fuller summary of the results in Chapter Four and detailed analysis of comments in Appendix A: Detailed analysis of comments

Summary of most frequently made comments • General support for the proposals to remove stationary vehicles from bus lanes • Opposition from local businesses to the proposed change of Bay 3 from parking to disabled parking and loading only

3 • Concern from local businesses that the change to hours of Bay 2 from 10:00- 16:00 to 10:00-13:00 Monday to Saturday would negatively impact their delivery schedules • Concern from local businesses to the reduced length of Bay 2 would negatively impact on their ability to receive deliveries • General opposition to a loss of parking in the area and requests for the local road to have business or resident permits introduced • Calls from local residents and businesses for more to be done to enforce parking and loading bays hour of operation in the area

Next steps Following careful consideration of the consultation responses from local businesses we are no longer proposing to amend the hours of operation of bays 2 and 3. The hours of operation of bay 1 will still be amended, but following responses from local businesses will be changed to 10:00-16:00 Monday to Saturday instead of 10:00- 13:00 as originally proposed. The hours of operation for loading for all bays will therefore be 10:00-16:00. We will proceed with the proposals to reduce the length of Bays 2 and 3. We plan to implement the changes to the bus lanes and the loading and parking bay signage in spring 2018.

4 1. About the proposals

1.1 Introduction The A23 in Streatham is an important bus corridor, with around 90 buses per hour in the peak period, carrying tens of thousands of people daily. Our proposed changes to parking, loading and disabled parking bays on Streatham High Road would reduce the likelihood of stationary vehicles blocking buses while providing loading for local businesses and visitors.

The proposals would complement the bus lane extension we consulted on in early 2017. We will continue to monitor and review the A23 through Streatham to identify opportunities to improve conditions for walking, cycling and bus travel.

1.2 Detailed description You can view detailed description of the proposals, including an annotated diagram, at https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/streatham-high-rd/.

1.2.1 Diagram of proposed changes The consultation diagram is reproduced in Appendix B.

1.2.2 Summary of proposed changes The following text was used to describe the proposals:

We would like your feedback on proposed changes to parking and loading bays northbound on Streatham High Road between Becmead Avenue and Drewstead Road. The proposed changes differ from the proposals we consulted on in February 2017, and follow a review of consultation responses and further parking and loading surveys.

The A23 Streatham High Road is an important bus corridor, with around 90 buses per hour in the peak period, carrying tens of thousands of people daily. We are proposing changes to loading and disabled parking to reduce the likelihood of stationary vehicles blocking buses while still providing parking and loading for local businesses and visitors.

What we are proposing:

5 • Changing the hours of operation of an existing loading and disabled parking bay outside 148 Streatham High Road We are no longer proposing to inset the bay into the footway, as was consulted on previously. Instead, we are proposing a change of hours of operation for the bay to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am-1pm’ • Changing the hours of operation of an existing loading and disabled parking bay outside 60 Streatham High Road We are proposing a change of hours of operation to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am-1pm’ and to reduce the length of the bay from 42.6 metres to 30 metres, to better match the current demand on the bay • Changing the hours of operation of an existing parking bay outside 34-36 Streatham High Road We are proposing to change a parking bay to a loading and disabled parking only bay, and a change of hours of operation to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am-1pm.’ We are also proposing to reduce the length of the bay from 54.6 metres to 38 metres to better match the current demand on the bay

The proposals have been informed by kerbside surveys and are designed to provide a good balance between reducing delays to buses and allowing businesses to continue to use the bays for loading. Spaces for disabled parking are also available on adjacent roads.

We will continue to monitor and review the A23 through Streatham to identify options to improve conditions for walking, cycling and bus travel, and opportunities to improve road safety in line with the Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy.

4.2 Summary of stakeholder responses This section provides summaries of the feedback we received from stakeholders. The interpretation of whether the respondent supported or opposed the proposals is shown in italics. Although we summarise responses here, the full stakeholder responses are always used for analysis purposes.

Politicians, government departments and parliamentary bodies

Scott Ainslie, Labour cllr for St Leonards ward, LB of Lambeth – Supported The councillor supported changing the parking and loading bay hours to help buses operate more smoothly and reliably. He summarised the comments he had received from local business who were concerned about a loss of parking for customers at Bay 3, noting that these business priorities need to be balanced with public transport aspirations. He stated that TfL should work in partnership with Lambeth Council to ensure that independent local businesses can still get their deliveries. Streatham Business Improvement District (BID) – Neither supported nor opposed

The BID gave us comments from a variety of businesses in the area that we had spoken to or had already responded to the consultation. They did not give a view on their own support of or opposition to the proposals.

Transport and road user groups Streatham Action – Opposed The group said it was concerned about reducing the hours of operation of the loading and parking bays in conjunction with reducing the lengths. They stated that the town centre has very few parking facilities so reduced parking in bays may lead to more parking on side roads that are not subject to the newly proposed Controlled Parking Zone around Streatham Hill.

Businesses Tesco Express – Opposed

13 Tesco Express use Bay 2 for loading and their second delivery of the day comes between 10am and 3pm. The proposals to change the bay’s loading time to 10am – 1pm would be problematic. They also raised a concern that reducing the length of the bay would mean their delivery vehicle could not fit within the bay.

Five Bells public house – Opposed

The Five Bells were strongly opposed to the reduced loading times in Bay 2 as their deliveries come between 10am and 3pm and they cannot dictate delivery slots. They stated that the bay is used by half a dozen nearby businesses so to reduce the length would mean some lorries may have to wait in nearby roads or on red lines. They also raised a concern that traffic is worse southbound on Streatham High Road so more should be done to look at that instead.

Haart – Opposed

Haart advised that their employees and customers use Bay 3 for parking and, with parking on nearby side roads so difficult, losing this bay would be problematic.

Poundland – Supportive

Poundland had no concerns about the reduced length or loading times of Bay 1, however they did raise a concern that many people park in the bay for longer than the allotted time so it needs better enforcement.

Pizza Express – Supportive

Pizza Express thought they would benefit from Bay 3 being changed from parking to loading because it would be more convenient than the side street that they currently use

Swinton Insurance – Opposed

Swinton raised a concern that the loss of Bay 3 for parking would impact their customers.

Estate Office Coffee – Opposed

The owner of this business objected to the loss of Bay 3 for parking because many of his customers use it. He felt he would lose business if the short stay parking amenity was lost.

14 4.4 Comments on the consultation We asked all respondents to rate the quality of our consultation by choosing one of the following descriptions: Very good; Good; Acceptable; Poor; Very poor. The question was not mandatory and 18 people chose not to answer.

Interest Total % Very good 1 3 Good 6 18 Acceptable 5 15 Poor 2 6 Very poor 1 3 Not answered 18 55 Total 33 100%

We also gave respondents the opportunity to comment on the quality of the consultation and the materials. Only two respondents chose to leave comments. Of these two comments, one suggested an alternate bus stop relocation scheme and one commented that TfL ‘cold-called’ her house with a door to door survey which is unacceptable1.

1 The respondent gave their postcode as outside the area where letters were distributed for this consultation. It could be the case that their comment references an experience with another consultation or survey, or they mistakenly entered the wrong post code in their consultation response.

15 5. Next steps

Following careful consideration of the consultation responses from local businesses we are no longer proposing to amend the hours of operation of bays 2 and 3. The hours of operation of bay 1 will still be amended but, following responses from local businesses, will be changed to 10:00-16:00 instead of 10:00-13:00 as originally proposed. The hours of operation for loading for all bays will therefore be 10:00- 16:00. We will continue with the proposals to reduce the length of Bays 2 and 3. We plan to implement the changes to the bus lanes and the loading and parking bay signage in spring 2018.

For our responses to the issues raised during consultation, please see our separate ‘Response to Issues Raised’ document, also published at https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/streatham-high-rd/user_uploads/streatham- high-road-rtir-report-2018.pdf.

16 Appendix A: Detailed analysis of comments

We have summarised the significant issues raised below. Percentages are calculated based on the total number of respondents.

Impact on local businesses 11 respondents commented on how the proposals would affect local businesses:

• Four respondents (12%) said that the loss of parking in Bay 3 would detrimentally affect their business because employees and customers use the bay for short term parking. All stated that parking on nearby roads was difficult • Four respondents (12%) stated that the reduced hours of operation for loading at Bay 2 from 10am-4pm to 10am-1pm would be problematic as they receive deliveries between 10am and 3pm and cannot dictate delivery times. Of these four respondents, three of them were also concerned about reducing the length of Bay 2 • One respondent (3%) was supportive of the change of Bay 3 to loading as this would be more convenient for their business • One respondent (3%) was supportive of the proposals for Bay 1 but raised a concern that the loading and parking times of the bay needs better enforcement • One respondent (3%) raised the concern that, with a lack of parking for customers, the level of footfall around local shops may fall

Impact on bus passengers Eight respondents commented on how they expected the proposals to affect bus passengers: • Two respondents (6%) stated that they believed the proposals would reduce times for bus passengers and they would make the bus lanes operate more smoothly and reliably • Two respondents (6%) supported a no parking policy in all bus lanes • One respondent (3%) suggested that bus lanes on this stretch should be 24/7 • One respondent (3%) suggested a new scheme to relocate bus stop K to balance our the number of bus stops approaching Streatham Hill station • One respondent (3%) suggested that the bus lane should not stretch to Broadlands Avenue Impact on parking

Six respondents commented on how the proposals would impact parking in the local area:

17 • Two respondents (6%) commented that parking (including disabled parking) should be moved from Streatham High Road to side streets • Two respondents (6%) suggested there should be resident and business parking permits, or residential parking zones created on adjacent streets as there is too much competition for parking spaces • One respondent (3%) stated that it should not be made more restrictive to park for short periods of time • One respondent (3%) raised a concern that the tougher hours of operation restriction, the loss of parking in Bay 3 and the reduced length of the bays would force people to park in nearby streets which would not be covered by the newly proposed Controlled Parking Zone near Streatham Hill

Impact on general traffic

Three respondents commented on how the proposals would impact general traffic:

• One respondent (3%) queried whether these proposals would create more traffic • One respondent (3%) suggested that more work should be done to look at traffic going southbound in the PM peak as there is not a traffic flow problem northbound • One respondent (3%) agreed that by reducing on-street parking the proposals would improve the flow of traffic

General comments

Two respondents gave general comments:

• One respondent (3%) stated they were opposed to the changes • One respondent (3%) advised that they do not travel to Streatham

Impact on cyclists

One respondent (3%) commented that bus lanes do not substantially improve the safety for cyclists and TfL should continue to investigate cycling schemes as a high priority.

Impact on local residents

One respondent (3%) raised a concern that Poundland have been receiving deliveries in unsociable hours and were concerned that restricting the hours of operation for Bay 1 would encourage other businesses to do the same.

23 Stakeholder email The following email was sent to 247 stakeholders identified as relevant to schemes in this area: Subject: Have your say on changes to parking and loading bays on Streatham High Road

Dear Sir/Madam

We would like your feedback on proposed changes to parking and loading bays northbound on Streatham High Road between Becmead Avenue and Drewstead Road. The proposed changes differ from the proposals we consulted on in February 2017, and follow a review of consultation responses and further parking and loading surveys.

The A23 Streatham High Road is an important bus corridor, with around 90 buses per hour in the peak period, carrying tens of thousands of people daily. We are proposing changes to loading and disabled parking to reduce the likelihood of stationary vehicles blocking buses while still providing parking and loading for local businesses and visitors.

What we are proposing:

• Changing the hours of operation of an existing loading and disabled parking bay outside 148 Streatham High Road

We are no longer proposing to inset the bay into the footway, as was consulted on previously. Instead, we are proposing a change of hours of operation for the bay to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am-1pm’

• Changing the hours of operation of an existing loading and disabled parking bay outside 60 Streatham High Road

We are proposing a change of hours of operation to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am- 1pm’ and to reduce the length of the bay from 42.6 metres to 30 metres, to better match the current demand on the bay

• Changing the hours of operation of an existing parking bay outside 34-36 Streatham High Road

We are proposing to change a parking bay to a loading and disabled parking only bay, and a change of hours of operation to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am-1pm.’ We are also proposing to reduce the length of the bay from 54.6 metres to 38 metres to better match the current demand on the bay

The proposals have been informed by kerbside surveys and are designed to provide a good balance between reducing delays to buses and allowing businesses to continue to use the bays for loading. Spaces for disabled parking are also available on adjacent roads.

The changes proposed in this consultation would complement the bus lane extension we consulted on earlier this year and plan to introduce in Spring 2018. The results of that consultation and our response to issues commonly raised can be found at: consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/streatham-high-road

We will continue to monitor and review the A23 through Streatham to identify options to improve conditions for walking, cycling and bus travel, and opportunities to improve road safety in line with the Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy.

In addition the following email was sent to 350 stakeholders who had responded to the previous consultation to make them aware that there were new proposals they may wish to comment on:

Subject: Have your say on changes to parking and loading bays on Streatham High Road

Dear Sir/Madam

Earlier this year you responded to our consultation on proposals to extend northbound bus lanes on Streatham High Road between Becmead Avenue and Drewstead Road. This scheme also included a proposal to inset a loading and disabled parking bay one metre into the footway between Becmead Avenue and Woodbourne Avenue.

We received more than 450 responses to the consultation, with 71% in favour of the proposals. We will therefore progress the proposal to extend the northbound bus lanes on Streatham High Road. Our ‘Response to Issues Raised’ is available here consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/streatham-high-road

Following feedback from the consultation and further parking and loading surveys, we are proposing changes to bays between Becmead Avenue and Drewstead Road to reduce the likelihood of stationary vehicles blocking buses.

What we are proposing:

• Changing the hours of operation of an existing bay outside 148 Streatham High Road

We are no longer proposing to inset the bay into the footway. We are proposing a change of hours of operation for the bay to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am-1pm’

• Changing the hours of operation of an existing bay outside 60 Streatham High Road

25 We are proposing a change of hours of operation to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am- 1pm’ and to reduce the length of the bay from 42.6 metres to 30 metres, to better match the current demand on the bay

• Changing the hours of operation of an existing bay outside 34-36 Streatham High Road

We are proposing to change a parking bay to a loading and disabled parking only bay, and a change of hours of operation to ‘No stopping 7am-7pm except 10am-1pm.’ We are also proposing to reduce the length of the bay from 54.6 metres to 38 metres to better match the current demand on the bay

The proposals have been informed by kerbside surveys and are designed to provide a good balance between reducing delays to buses and allowing businesses to continue to use the bays for loading. Spaces for disabled parking are also available on adjacent roads.
