Milestones

Background

Between August 2015 and November 2017, residents and stakeholders were consulted on various proposals, as part of the TfL Quietway 7 route. In January 2018, the proposals were approved by the Cabinet Member for Housing and Environment. In May/June 2018, TfL reviewed the proposals for all Quietways in London. For Quietway 7, the review concluded that due to vehicle volumes on Rosendale Road, TfL would only fund a scheme which either reduced motor traffic by filtering Rosendale Road or provided separation between cycles and motor traffic. In November 2018, development began for dedicated space for cycling alongside other improvements to enable more walking/wheeling.

Preliminary designs

Between February 2019 and December 2019, preliminary designs were developed for a two-way cycle track on the east side of Rosendale Road, as it was found that this would have less impact on parking loss, compared to one-way/with-flow options.

Proposed CPZ statutory consultation

During the October 2019 statutory consultation on the extension of the Tulse Hill CPZ into Croxted Road, representations were received from residents in the local area asking for the CPZ to be extended.

Public engagement

In January/February 2020, Lambeth Council conducted a public engagement programme, seeking feedback on the changes proposed to Rosendale Road as part of their Brockwell Park to Gipsy Hill Healthy Route Project. Overall, 70% of responders to the online survey were in favour of the proposals.

Phase 1

Phase 1 of the scheme was delivered in early 2021. Changes included four new zebra crossings, a new two-way cycle traffic protected by traffic wands, and a banned left-turn for general traffic from Rosendale Road into Turney Road.

CPZ consultation Stage 1

The Stage 1 consultation for the extension of the Tulse Hill (Zone H) CPZ into the Rosendale Road area took place between 12 July and 2 August 2021.

Phase 2

Installation of Phase 2 (between Turney Road and the A205) was approved in November 2022, following engagement on updated Phase 2 proposals. Changes will include continuation of the two-way cycle tracks along the eastern side of Rosendale Road, four new zebra crossings and converting the mini-roundabout at the junction of Turney Road and Rosendale Road into priority T-junctions. Construction of Phase 2 is starting in July.

Phase 3 development

Proposals for continuing the Healthy Route further south are being developed. Lambeth and TfL are working together to incorporate the A205 South Circular junction into Phase 3.
