Supporting measures

Exemptions 

HGV Construction trucks associated with the South Lambeth Estate regeneration have been temporarily exempt from one traffic filter to reduce the impact of HGVS having to approach from South Lambeth road.

An exemption for SEND transport providers has been put in place for all LTNs.

Improved communication

We have published a monitoring strategy that clearly outlines how we will monitor the scheme and what success will look like.

We have been attending meetings with local residents of Lansdowne Way and Spencer Mews as well as forums such as Lambeth Made Community and will provide more frequent updates on our Commonplace website alongside Q&A sessions.

An on the street information point has been installed in Dorset Road parade and will be updated frequently.

A local independent film maker has been commissioned to assist us in communicating the monitoring strategy and next steps with engagement

Behaviour change programme

We have delivered 13 Dr Bikes session and serviced over 226 bikes in and around the Oval to Stockwell Triangle LTN.
