The council has allowed time for people to get used to the changes as we know that it can take a while to adjust. However, now that the measures have been in place for over 3 months, we have begun enforcement as there is still a small minority of drivers not complying with the measures.Off the back of feedback received from businesses on Brixton Hill, we have relocated the modal filter planned for Arodene Road to immediately north of the junction with Helix Gardens. This means vehicles will not be able to make a right turn out of Helix Gardens onto Arodene Road. From 18 January onward enforcement begins and you may be fined £130 if you drive through the modal filters located at: 1.	Arodene Road, immediately north of junction with Helix Gardens2.	Leander Road, immediately south of junction with Helix Road3.	Elm Park, immediately north of junction with Craignair Road4.	Upper Tulse Hill, immediately north of junction with Claverdale Road5.	Cotherstone Road, immediately south of junction with Holmewood Gardens 6.	Roupell Road, outside no. 41 What happens next?An ‘experimental traffic order’ covering the scheme came into effect on 18 January 2021. The council will continue to monitor the low traffic neighbourhood in line with our published Monitoring Strategy and will shortly write to you again with data from the first independent traffic assessment that has taken place. If after 6 months the LTN is meeting its objectives, we may consider making the scheme permanent, only after conducting a public consultation with people in the area. All monitoring will be collated, analysed and published on this Commonplace. If you wish to make an objection to the Experimental Traffic Order this should be directed to <a href="http://bpoulter@lambeth.gov.uk">bpoulter@lambeth.gov.uk</a> with the grounds of your objection stated.

Tulse Hill Low Traffic Neighbourhood Enforcement 

Over the past few months, we have been monitoring how the schemes have been working and have made tweaks and improvements off the back of constructive feedback from local residents and businesses.We will soon be moving Tulse Hill Low Traffic Neighbourhood onto a formal trial basis using an experimental traffic order, which allow changes to road layouts to be trialled for up to 18 months so that residents can see how the changes work in practice, and share their feedback.Traffic and air quality will be assessed and reported on transparently, so everyone can see whether the scheme is meeting the objectives set out within the monitoring strategy at the review stages. A public consultation will take place before considering whether it should be made permanent or not.As transport changes tend to take time to settle in and are affected by many different factors, we will take a flexible approach; if the scheme is meeting its objectives during the 6-month objection period set out within the experimental traffic order process, then consultation on a permanent scheme may begin. If more time is needed to measure its impact, then the trial could be extended and tweaked to address local concerns or cancelled altogether following further review.Read the <a href="https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/sites/default/files/projects_attachements/Transport%20monitoring%20strategy%20FINAL.pdf">Monitoring Strategy</a> in full.Word from the cabinetCllr Claire Holland, Deputy Leader of the Council (Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air), said:At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we recognised the need for urgent action. We swiftly put in place measures to support safe travel on foot, including with mobility aids and by cycle, included adapted cycles at a time when capacity on London’s public transport was down by over 80 per cent. We took action to protect our residents from road danger given the huge increase in speeding reported by the police reported on London’s streets during the pandemic.In normal times, we would have had more time to engage with the community first before introducing these measures. However, the risks posed by the pandemic were stark and immediate, and in line with the statutory guidance issued by government, we introduced the schemes whilst engaging with residents at the same time.I appreciate residents have been asking about the data which the council will be collecting and considering and I’m pleased to publish our monitoring strategy which sets out our approach. Since each scheme went live, we’ve been working with the community to understand how they are working so that we can make improvements. We know that we won’t have got everything right first time, so we’ve been making tweaks and changes based on resident and business feedback.We know that any traffic changes take time to settle as people adapt, and so in this period we’ll be monitoring traffic inside and outside each LTN to understand how people are choosing to travel. We will be out and about in the community as much as coronavirus restrictions allow meeting with residents, schools, businesses and local organisations to understand their views and work with them constructively to identify ways that they can be improved. A full consultation will then take place where everyone will be able to have their say, with views considered alongside the data collected.Only once we’ve gathered this important feedback and data will we make a final decision about whether to make each scheme permanent or to remove it. Throughout the trial period, residents will be kept informed with regular reports that will show a transparent picture of the impact of the schemes.

Monitoring Strategy Launch

Physical distancing means much less capacity on public transport. If car journeys increase only slightly then our roads could grind to a halt. To support the economy and keep people safe we need to enable trips that would have been made by public transport to be made on foot or by bike, to keep roads free for truly essential journeys.
