Sangley Road and Sandhurst Road improvements

Residents have raised concerns about congestion, obstructive footway parking, unsafe crossings and dangerous driving along Sangley Road and Sandhurst Road. The Council has attended ongoing meetings with residents and Transport for London (TfL) to understand the issues residents are facing and to propose improvements. Early stage designs of the improvements are now available to comment on.

Proposed improvements at Sandhurst Road and Sangley Road 

The proposals have been designed to improve road safety while reducing pavement congestion. The designs would introduce traffic calming measures, safe passing places for vehicles, making these roads a more appealing and inclusive place to live. We want to hear what you think and if you have any comments or suggestions. 

Will we lose parking spaces? How many? 

There could be less space but the parking bays aren't individual ones but one continuous bay. You'll also be able to park throughout the Zone R controlled parking zone and won't be limited to your own street - as long as you've got an active parking permit for the operational hours.

Will there be a reduction in Blue Badge parking?

If your Blue Badge was issued by Lewisham Council, you can apply for a disabled resident parking permit allowing you to park in any resident, shared or triple-use bay free of charge. You're also able to park on single or double yellow lines for up to three hours - as long as there aren't any loading or unloading restrictions.

What is a 'build out' and how does it calm traffic? 

A build out is a traffic calming measure that narrows a part of a road and encourages vehicles to slow down and reduce their speed. They also provide visibility for motorists to see pedestrians and allow them to safely cross the road.
