Sustainable Streets: Update on Shooters Hill and Plumstead areas
Councillor Averil Lekau, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Sustainability and Transport, said:
We keep our proposals under constant review. Therefore, we have reconsidered our Sustainable Streets proposals and are adjusting our consultation to focus on the four areas we think could benefit most from the Sustainable Streets scheme (Charlton, Kidbrooke and Blackheath, Thamesmead West, and Woolwich) where they are either town centre locations with good transport links, have high levels of new development, or areas that would suffer from parking displacement from other areas. This means we will be withdrawing the proposals in respect of Shooters Hill and Plumstead areas. The consultation in respect of these areas is closed and we will not be bringing forward permit parking proposals in these areas. This will have no bearing on already existing CPZs in those areas.
I would like to thank everyone across those areas who have contributed. The in-person events at Woolwich Town Hall on Wednesday 20 August (Shooters Hill) and Thursday 21 August (Plumstead) have been cancelled and those who had registered to attend or who were on the waiting list will be notified.
This decision does not affect the remainder of the consultation for Charlton, Kidbrooke and Blackheath, Thamesmead West, and Woolwich which closes on 30 September and we continue to welcome your input and comments for the remaining four areas.
There are also in-person events where there is currently capacity, which you can sign up to below.
Town Hall events in Woolwich will be held:
- Tuesday 12 August, 6pm to 7:30pm (Charlton)
- Wednesday 13 August, 6pm to 7:30pm (Kidbrooke & Blackheath)
- Tuesday 19 August, 6pm to 7:30pm (Thamesmead West)
Online webinar will be held:
