Scott wins action on HGVs entering residential roads

HGV getting stuck in the side roads

Streatham Green Party team has won agreement from Lambeth Council to take steps to prevent heavy goods vehicles from entering residential roads to thte West of Streatham High Road.

Residents raised concerns last year about large articulated lorries using smaller streets as a cut through. This has resulted in lorries getting stuck and residential streets becoming congested and unsafe.

Potholes a plenty on Drewstead Road

We have asked the council to fix a series of potholes on Drewstead Road, between the junctions with Hoadly Road and Woodfield Avenue, near Beckett Close. The road surface is however badly breaking up along this section, and really needs resurfacing.

[Update April 16 2013: Some of the potholes have now been fixed, but we are continuing to chase Lambeth Council to fix the others and in the longer-term get the area properly resurfaced]
