(ii) Loughborough Road, both sides between Lilford Road and a point approximately 22.3 metres south- east of the north-western boundary wall of Nos. 78/86 Styles Gardens,

vehicles other than pedal cycles would be banned from being driven or ridden in the cycle lanes at all times, and waiting by vehicles and the loading or unloading of vehicles would also be banned in the cycle lane at all times;

(b) revoke the existing ban on motor vehicles entering that part of Fiveways Road which lies between its junction with Akerman Road, Lilford Road and Loughborough Road and a point 10 metres south-west of the south-western kerb-line of Loughborough Road and to impose a ban on motor vehicles entering or exiting Fiveways Road at the south-western kerb-line of Loughborough Road instead;

(c) revoke the existing Disabled Persons’ parking places in Loughborough Road adjacent to Nos. 35/37 Horle Walk and provide two new disabled persons’ parking places situated approximately 1.6 metres away from the kerb-line adjacent to Nos. 13 to 16 Horle Walk;

(d) revoke and remove all existing residents’ only and shared use residents’, business and pay by phone parking places, along the kerb-lines on Loughborough Road, on both sides, between Lilford Road and Nos. 78/86 Styles Gardens and install new shared use residents’, business and pay by phone parking places situated approximately 1.7 metres away from the kerb-line in Loughborough Road (1) the north-east side, (i) from a point 2.4 metres north-west of the south-eastern wall of No. 113 Loughborough Road north-westward for a distance of 19.2 metres; (ii) from a point 5 metres south- east of the south-eastern wall of No. 113 Loughborough Road south-eastward for a distance of 32 metres; (iii) from a point 7.5 metres south-east of the south-eastern wall of Nos. 21/42/63 Elmore House to a point 14 metres south-east of the north-westernmost wall of Nos. 1 to 53 Nevil House; and (2) the south-west side, from a point 34 metres south-east of Barrington Road south-eastward for a distance of 41 metres;

(e) reduce the length of the existing parking place in Minet Road (i) the north-west side, 5.5 metres north-east of Loughborough Road by 2 metres; and (ii) the south-east side, 5 metres north-east of Loughborough Road by 5 metres (there will be no changes to how the parking places currently operate);

(f) introduce at any time waiting and loading restrictions (including waiting for the purpose of loading or unloading a vehicle) in Loughborough Road, (i) the north-east side, between a point 8.1 metres south- east of the south-eastern boundary wall of Hart House and a point 6.5 metres north-west of the north- western kerb-line of Styles Gardens; and (ii) the south-west side, between a point 5.2 metres south- east of the south-eastern kerb-line of the vehicular entrance to the underground garages of Horle Walk and a point 0.5 metres south-east of the north-western kerb-line of Styles Gardens (except in the designated parking places).

3. NOTICE IS ALSO HEREBY GIVEN that the Council proposes, under section 90A of the Highways Act 1980, to remove and change the layout of existing road humps known as “speed cushions” in Loughborough Road and install new flat top road humps known as “speed tables” in Barrington Road, Loughborough Road and Minet Road.

4. “Speed cushions” would be located in Loughborough Road (i) approximately 5 metres south-east of the south-eastern kerb-line of the vehicular entrance to the underground garages at Horle Wak; (ii) approximately 9 metres south-east of No. 113 Loughborough Road; (iii) approximately 25 metres north-west of the south-eastern wall of Hopton House; (iv) approximately 5 metres north-west of the south-eastern wall of Nevil House; (v) at the side of Nos. 62/70 Styles Gardens; and (vi) approximately 22.2 metres south-east of the north-westernmost boundary wall of Nos. 78/86 Styles Gardens. Each "speed cushion" would be an elevated section of carriageway with a flat top, 75 millimetres higher at its highest point than the surrounding carriageway, approximately 1.7 metres in width and approximately 3.7 metres in length and would be constructed in a line of two or three “speed cushions”

5. A new flat-top road hump known as a “speed table” would be constructed in (i) Barrington Road at its junction with Loughborough Road (the road hump would extend into Barrington Road for a distance of 7 metres from Loughborough Road, including the gradients); (ii) Minet Road at its junction with Loughborough Road (the road hump would extend into Minet Road for a distance of 10 metres from Loughborough Road, including the gradients); (iii) Loughborough Road (a) outside Nos. 99/101 (the road hump would extend along Loughborough Road for a distance of 13.2 metres including the gradients); (b) at the side of Nos. 21/42/63 Elmore House (the road hump would extend along Loughborough Road for a distance of 12.5 metres including the gradients); (c) at the side of Nos. 14/22 Styles Gardens (the road hump would extend along Loughborough Road for a distance of 10 metres including the gradients); and (d) 5 metres south-east of Barrington Road (the road hump would extend along Loughborough Road for a distance of 14.3 metres including the gradients). Each “speed table” would be an elevated section of carriageway, with a flat top, 75 millimetres higher at its highest point than the surrounding carriageway, extending across the whole width of the carriageway from kerb to kerb without a break

6. NOTICE IS ALSO HEREBY GIVEN that the Council proposes, under section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, to install new parallel pedestrian and cycle crossings, convert an existing zebra pedestrian crossing into a parallel pedestrian and cycle crossing and make changes to the signalled pedestrian crossing in Loughborough Road at the following locations:-

(1) provide a new parallel pedestrian and cycle crossing outside Nos. 99 and 101 Loughborough Road, (the crossing would be located on the road hump described in paragraph 4(iii)(a) above);

(2) convert the existing Zebra crossing at the side of Nos. 21/42/63 Elmore House to a parallel pedestrian and cycle crossing (the crossing would be located on the road hump described in paragraph 4(iii)(b) above);

(3) raise the exiting signalled pedestrian crossing north-west of Barrington Road onto the road hump described in paragraph 4(iii)(c) above;

(4) provide a new parallel pedestrian and cycle crossing south of Barrington Road, (the crossing would be located on the road hump described in paragraph 4(iii)(d) above).

Associated zig-zag markings, on which vehicles are banned from stopping at any time, would be placed on the carriageway either side of the crossings described above.

7. The proposals are necessary to reduce the conflict between pedal cyclists and other moving vehicles including buses stopping at bus stops, to reduce vehicle speeds and the potential for road traffic accidents and to provide safer road crossing facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists, so as to improve safety for all road users and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists.

8. If you have any enquiries, please contact the Council’s Capital Programmes Team by emailing NAjithkumar@lambeth.gov.uk.

9.
