Update 5 May 2023
The public information event in West Norwood Library on 22 April was not well advertised, and we understand there was too little space and too few staff, which combined with lots of public in attendance, did not make for a wholly satisfactory event, but there is still time to add your comments to the Commonplace website - closing date is Sunday 7 May - follow this link.
Healthy routes are part of Lambeth’s Transport Strategy. Lambeth says they are routes that have the right conditions to enable more people to walk/wheel and cycle. They link people with places they need to get to, such as schools, workplaces, shops, amenities, and public transport. Healthy routes are convenient, safe and is accessible to all. They can be on quiet streets where traffic levels are low or on main roads where dedicated space is provided for walking/wheeling and cycling.
