[NOTE: This Notice is about banning motor vehicles from using various roads in the West Dulwich Area as through roads and the introduction of double yellow line waiting restrictions. These measures will all be introduced as an experiment in the first instance. Objections to this being continued on a permanent basis may be made, as well as any other comments – see paragraph 7].

1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the London Borough of Lambeth on 6 August 2024 made The Lambeth (Free Parking Places, Loading Places and Waiting, Loading and Stopping Restrictions) (No.03) Experimental Traffic Order 2024 and The Lambeth (Moving Traffic Restrictions) (Amendment No. 03) Experimental Order 2024 under section 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

2. The general effect of the Orders, which will come into force on 19 August 2024, will be to introduce experimentally: -

(1) the suspension of existing two-way working replaced with a northbound one-way working and a southbound contra-flow cycle exemption in Dalton Street for its entire length.

(2) a ban on motor vehicles with exemptions for pedal cycles, emergency vehicles, and vehicles with a valid dispensation via the use of CCTV enforcement in:

(a) Ardlui Road, at a point opposite the southern kerb-line of Towton Road in both directions.

(b) Carson Road, southbound, at the junction with Thurlow Park Road.

(c) Chatsworth Way, at a point 2 metres north-east of the common boundary of Nos 15 and 17 Chatsworth Way in both directions.

(d) Eastmearn Road, between the western kerb-line of Rosendale Road and a point 22.8 metres west of the western kerb-line of Rosendale Road in both directions.

(3) a banned right turn for all vehicles except cycles on: -

(a) Carson Road turning into Thurlow Park Road.

(b) Dalton Street turning into Lancaster Avenue.

(4) Introduce a no entry except for cycles into Dalton Street at the junction of Lancaster Avenue.

(5) A road closure on the north-west to south-east slip road of Chatsworth Way at the Junction with Idmiston Road adjacent to the Chatsworth Baptist Church.

(a) new no waiting at any time restrictions at various locations in, Ardlui Road, (b) Chatsworth Way, (c) Chestnut Road, (d) Dalton Street, (e) Eastmearn Road, (f) Park Hall Road, (g) Robson Road, (h) Towton Road, and (i) Tulsemere Road.

3. The Orders are intended to restrict, and thereby reduce, through motor traffic in the West Dulwich Low Traffic Area, to improve air quality, increase road safety for all road users and improve the amenity of the area, whilst retaining vehicular access for residents and local businesses. The Orders are being introduced as an experiment in the first instance so their effect on the roads concerned and those in the surrounding area can be assessed before a decision is made about whether to continue them permanently.

4. Where it appears essential for certain purposes, the Council’s Assistant Director of Infrastructure, Environment, Public Realm & Climate Change Delivery, or any person authorised by him, may modify, or suspend any of the Orders or any of their provisions under section 10(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

5. A copy of each of the Orders and other documents giving detailed particulars about them are available for inspection online at: https://streets.appyway.com/lambeth or www.lambeth.gov.uk/traffic-management-orders and at the offices of Lambeth Council’s Parking and Enforcement Group (Parking, Network Management & Fleet), 3rd Floor, Civic Centre, 6 Brixton Hill, London SW2 1EG, between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm on Mondays to Fridays inclusive (except on bank/public holidays), until the Orders cease to have effect. To arrange an inspection please email: Trafficorders@lambeth.gov.uk.

6. The Council will consider in due course whether the provisions of the experimental Orders should be continued in force indefinitely by means of permanent Orders made under sections 6, 45 and 46 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Any person may object to the making of the permanent Orders, within a period of six months beginning with the date on which the experimental Orders come into force or, if any of the experimental Orders are varied by another Order or modified pursuant to section 10(2) of the 1984 Act, beginning with the date on which the variation or modification or the latest variation or modification comes into force. Any such objection or any representation must be made in writing and all objections must specify the grounds on which they are made, using our consultation portal at https://streets.appyway.com/lambeth or sent by post to Barbara Poulter, Parking and Enforcement Group (Parking, Network Management & Fleet), London Borough of Lambeth, PO Box 80771, London, SW2 9QQ or by email to: TMOReps@lambeth.gov.uk Any objection or representation received may be communicated to, or be seen by, other persons who may have an interest in this matter.

7. If any person wishes to question the validity of the Orders or of any of their provisions on the grounds that it or they are not within the powers conferred by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or that any requirement of that Act or of any instrument made under that Act has not been complied with, that person may, within 6 weeks from the date on which the Orders are made, apply for the purpose to the High Court.
