TfL shared their latest thinking on plans to change the road layout of the A23 in Streatham Hill at a meeting with local residents last week.
A formal consultation on plans will take place in Autumn/Winter 2018/19; so this was an attempt to take some inital soundings from the community on two different approaches they are considering.
Option 1: wider bus lanes and footways
Option 2: segregated cycle lanes

Housing in Lambeth - The Facts
The lack of genuinely affordable housing is one of the top issues facing London. Lambeth Council's approach - to fund new housing by demolishing council estates and rebuilding with densely-packed flats and houses, much of it to be sold to investors in the private sector - is not the only option.
The Labour-led council's pursuit of this approach - without the consent of the existing residents of council estates - is wildly out of step with many people in Lambeth.
In the run-up to the local election campaign on May 3rd, many claims
will be made by all political parties. Here Lambeth Green Party lays out some of the key facts - and
their sources - so voters can check them out for themselves.
A Green Vision for Housing in Lambeth

A safe home that we can afford to rent or buy is a basic
human need upon which all our individual and community wellbeing depends.
And
yet tens of thousands of people in Lambeth are currently in acute housing need,
living in temporary or overcrowded, insecure homes – or forced to give over unaffordable
amounts of their income in rent to landlords.
Thousands more who thought they had a secure home on a council
estate – either rented or bought – are currently suffering great stress and
uncertainty with the threat of demolition hanging over them.
