(3) in Rushcroft Road (a) to introduce a one-way traffic system for all vehicles, between Coldharbour Lane and Electric Lane, in a direction towards Electric Lane; (b) to remove the single yellow line waiting restrictions outside Suffolk House and provide parking space for “BIR” resident’s permit holders instead; (c) to convert the shared use residents/business/pay by phone parking place at the side of Nos. 409 and 411 into a parking place for “BIB” business permit holders and reduce its length; and (d) to extend the “at any time” waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) on both sides, near its junction with Coldharbour Lane;

(5) in Saltoun Road outside Nos. 2a and 2b and in Kellett Road adjacent to the side of No. 19 Effra Road to remove the existing single yellow line waiting restrictions, and in Trinity Gardens adjacent to the side of Nos. 36/38 Acre Lane to remove the existing shared use residents/business/pay by phone parking place, and provide parking places for “BIB” business permit holders at these three locations instead;

(6) in Mervan Road adjacent to the side of No. 31 Effra Road, to remove the existing single yellow line waiting restrictions and provide a shared use parking place for “BR”, “BIR”, “BB”, “BIB” permit holders and pay by phone instead;

(7) in Porden Road (a) to remove the existing “at any time” waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) from most parts of the road (but not outside Nos. 8 and 10 and not near its junction with Acre Lane) and introduce parking places for “BR” and “BIR” residents permit holders, a parking place for the use of vehicles that display a disabled person’s blue badge (on the east side, opposite No. 20) and a parking place for the use of “BB” and “BIB” business permit holders (on the east side, north of No. 1); (b) to remove some existing resident’s parking space on the west side, north of No. 2, and provide a parking place for “BB” and BIB” business permit holders instead; and (c) to convert the car club parking place adjacent to the side of the Civic Centre into a solo motor cycle parking place;

(8) in Buckner Road, to introduce a solo motor cycle parking place on the east side at the rear of the Civic Centre.

3. The operational hours of the parking places referred to in paragraph 2 above and the charges for their use (where applicable) would be the same as those that currently apply in the area.

4. NOTICE IS ALSO HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the London Borough of Lambeth proposes, under section 90A of the Highways Act 1980, to construct the type of flat-top road hump known as a “speed table” or “raised junction” at the junction of Coldharbour Lane with Belinda Road. It will extend along Coldharbour Lane for a distance of 23 metres including the ramps, and into Belinda Road for a distance of 7.2 metres including the ramp.

[A speed table or raised junction is an elevated section of carriageway, having a maximum height of 100 millimetres above the existing carriageway, with a flat top that extends across the full width of the carriageway from kerb to kerb, so that the flat top of the speed table/raised junction and the adjoining footways form a continuous surface.]

5. The proposals to introduce waiting and loading restrictions is intended to facilitate the safe movement of traffic and the introduction of a one-way traffic system is intended to increase safety at the junctions with Coldharbour Lane by reducing the number of permissible vehicle movements. The proposal to revise the parking controls in certain roads, which provides more parking space for business users, is necessary to meet changes in demand for parking space. The proposed cycle lane is intended to give protection to pedal cyclists from general traffic and improve safety and the speed table or raised junction is intended to improve pedestrian facilities and safety by encouraging vehicles to slow down and increase the level of priority afforded to pedestrians.

6. If you have any enquiries about this matter, please telephone Jay Ward in the Council’s Environment Team on 020 7926 9004 or email: collisionreduction@lambeth.gov.uk. More details about the proposals (including maps) can be viewed at www.lambeth.gov.uk/bbd.
