Measures in Catford and Crofton Park areas

Measures introduced in Catford and Crofton Park areas

We consulted people in Catford and Crofton Park on proposals for their area in early 2023. The introduction of a parking permit scheme for roads in Catford and Crofton Park was proposed to help alleviate parking pressures in the area and ensure parking was prioritised for local residents and businesses, as well as discouraging unnecessary car journeys and reducing traffic and congestion. Alongside the introduction of a parking permit scheme, we proposed a series of improvements to local streets and the introduction of more sustainable transport measures. The proposals included new street trees, safer crossing points, electric vehicle charging points, secure cycle storage and car club bays.

The results of the consultation and updated recommendations were presented to Mayor and Cabinet on 19 July 2023, taking into account feedback received during the consultation. Mayor and Cabinet approved proposals to roll out the programme in full in two smaller areas in Catford and Crofton Park - on two roads around Honor Oak Park station (on Ballina Street and Grierson Road, up to junction of Parbury Road) and three roads around Ravensbourne Park (on Chilthorne Close, Ravensbourne Park and Ravensbourne Park Crescent). This included permit parking, a new car club bay, two cycle hangars and 12 street trees, with three electric vehicle chargepoint bays being installed later this year. Proposals were also approved to introduce double yellow lines at junctions on all the roads which formed part of the Phase 1 consultation zone in Catford and Crofton Park, helping to improve road safety in this area.
