Sustainable Streets: Local community feedback events announced
The council is inviting residents to attend a new round of Sustainable Streets feedback sessions in the areas of Charlton, Kidbrooke and Blackheath, Thamesmead West, and Woolwich where Sustainable Streets are proposed.
There will be two drop-in sessions per location which will give residents the opportunity to speak to a council official about the proposals for their area and individual street, ask questions and leave feedback. Residents are advised to book for only one session so as many people can be accommodated as possible.
Councillor Averil Lekau, Deputy Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Sustainability and Transport, said: “Thank you to those who attended the in-person workshop events at Woolwich Town Hall – your feedback has been invaluable. As I have said before, this a consultation and no decisions have been. These upcoming local community events will give residents further opportunities to talk to us, ask questions and share their thoughts about their area.
"Sustainable Streets aim to encourage more people to walk, cycle or use public transport to reduce air pollution and traffic, and improve road safety. A range of measures are proposed from improved parking management so that parking is prioritised for residents and businesses, and safer crossings.
“Your feedback is vitally important to us, and I encourage more people to come forward to help us shape our proposals. If you haven’t had your say yet, please do. We want to hear from you before the deadline of the informal consultation phase at midnight on Tuesday, 30 September.”
Booking in advance is essential as we need to safely manage the capacity of these community venues. Book online or by phoning 020 8854 8888.

If after this a final revised scheme is put forward for implementation there will be a further consultation and community feedback would again be encouraged.
