Thank you to everyone who has been involved in Quietways so far – although it’s been a rocky journey, huge numbers of local residents and businesses have engaged and lots of ideas and feedback have been put forward. Residents have been clear on their priorities – tackling speeding and making the road safer. There has also been some great discussions on how to enhance the parade of shops to make our mini “town centre” even more of a destination for the community.
Sustrans have been busy processing all the feedback and engineers are developing designs based on your suggestions.
These will be shared for your feedback at two concept design showcase events. Please come and see what you think – your input is invaluable.
- Sunday 6th December 10.30-1.30pm
- Wednesday 9th December 6.30pm-8.30pm
You can drop in at any time. Both events will be at Rosendale Primary School SE21 8LR. Sustrans will be present at both events and Richard Lancaster, who is taking over managing Quietways, along with the rollout of 20mph and a review of parking in the borough, will be attending the Sunday session and is happy to answer any questions. At least one of us will be at each event – as councillors we are doing what we can to be involved and available throughout the process.
Designs will also be available online and you can feedback by email. We will post a link when they’re uploaded.
One final design will be created based on your feedback from these showcase events and online engagement. This will go to a formal public consultation in January. You will be notified of this online and by post.
