1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Lewisham Borough Council on 22nd May 2017 made the above-mentioned Order under sections 84(1)(a) and (2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, which will come into operation on 1st June 2017.

2. The general effect of the Order will be to revoke and re-enact the provisions of the Lewisham (20 mph Speed Limit) Traffic Order 2016 without any change of substance to what is currently operating “on street”.

3. The reason for making this new Order is to enable the Police to better enforce the 20 mph speed limit restrictions in Lewisham, by specifically identifying each length of street involved in the Order.

4. The continuing effect of the Order, along with other existing 20mph speed limit Orders affecting the Borough, is to make the whole of the London Borough of Lewisham, including certain parts of boundary streets with the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the London Borough of Southwark, subject to 20 mph controls for all motor vehicles. Note: GLA Roads and Side Roads are not part of the scheme.

5. As at present, the 20 mph speed limit will not apply to any vehicle being used – (a) by Special Forces whilst responding, or making preparations to respond to, a national security emergency; or (b) for emergency service purposes if staying within the speed limit would compromise response times.

6. A copy of the Order, of the Order of 2016 referred to in paragraph 2 above, together with other relevant documents, can be inspected during normal office hours on Mondays to Fridays until the last day of a period of six weeks beginning with the date on which the Order is made, at the office of Lewisham Transport Policy & Development, 4th Floor Laurence House, 1 Catford Road, London, SE6 4RU. For telephone queries please call Liz Brooker on 020 8314 2254.

7. Any person desiring to question the validity of the Order or of any provision provided therein on the grounds that it is not within the relevant powers of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or that any of the relevant requirements thereof or any relevant regulations made thereunder have not been complied with in relation to the Order, may within six weeks of the date on which the Order is made, make application for the purpose to the High Court.
