lclaase Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I moved to Fernholme Road last year and I find it shocking to find a thread from 2015 about this issue?! Seems to me this speeding issue has been going on for years and I cannot believe that nothing has been done about it... in the past 3 months I've almost been hit by numerous drivers that are using this road as a shortcut and think quicker they drive cooler they are... is there something we can do about this? Or is council waiting for a car accident or child death before they stop this speeding issue? This is a residential road but also a cut through road and unless this road has numerous speed bums this speeding will NOT STOP. Can we start a petition or get the local council to promote this suggestion to council? Thanks Lenka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunhead S Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 We have had notification of speed humps and road narrowing and a consultation. At last - I raised this with local counsellors years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamNicola Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I suggest you go for road narrowing and not speed bumps unless you want your houses to shake like on every other street round here where speed bumps have gone in. I really hope after spending 10s of thousands putting in and then removing speed bumps all along Ivydale that the council does not waste more taxpayer money. The road narrowing are good.

lclaase Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Thank you for letting me know about this meeting. I was not aware of this meeting and as I work North London I will, sadly, not be able to attend. Does anyone know if there is another meeting scheduled for foreseeable future? I just find it astonishing that after so many years and complains council has not done anything about it. But I guess we are dealing with Southwark council and as their previous leaseholder I am not surprise they don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulfhound Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Go for a liveable neighbourhood / bus gate / modal filter if you can, to cut out the cut through. Most traffic calming doesn't work because through traffic inherently doesn't want to be calmed. The council put in speed humps, the anti-social brigade buy big Range Rovers that can cruise over the top of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Eva Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 the consultation is closed but it's here. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/athenlay-road-traffic-calming/southwark are usually OK about late comments. Surprising that as a resident you were not notified. Mail your views to your councillor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
