Transport for London has announced construction work will start this summer on a major new scheme to make A23 Streatham Hill safer and better for residents and those visiting the area.

The scheme, developed in close partnership with Lambeth Council, will create new pedestrian crossings, a protected cycling route and improvements to bus lanes in the area.

Lambeth Council: Streatham Wells LTN scheme suspended - Highways News

Lambeth Council has suspended the Streatham Wells Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) trial in response to concerns about public transport delays and anticipated disruption from planned Transport for London (TfL) construction works on the A23 starting later this spring, says Brixton Buzz.

In a statement, the council said:

“The Streatham Wells LTN trial was introduced in October last year to reduce road danger and make the neighbourhood safer and healthier by restricting motor vehicle access to streets within the scheme.
