The Greenwich Wire

Most through traffic in streets east and west of Greenwich Park is now barred between 7am-10am and 3-7pm on weekdays. Buses, taxis, minicabs, cyclists and pedestrians will not be affected while there are a range of exemptions.

Greenwich Council says there will be be a three-week grace period between November 27 and December 17 for drivers to familiarise themselves with the new restrictions, during which warning letters will be sent rather than the £130 penalty charge notices.
