Do any of the local councillors have any idea how long the "temporary" traffic lights at the Colyton, Dunstan and Forest Hill Road Junction are going to remain and when the zebra crossing is going to be re-introduced to allow the removal of the "temporary lights". I know the lights were installed to allow big lorries to turn right into and left out Colyton Road during the water main work took place. As this is complete what is going to happen to the lights, is it down to council officers to arrange their removal?


The sooner these lights are removed, this will significanly improve the traffic flow on Peckham Rye and Forest Hill Road, thus improving movement of 63 and 363 buses.

Have you seen Renata's latest update on July 20 - in one of the threads that penguin68 refers to?

Edited to say, I guess you must have because you replied to the thread further on. As I understand it, no decision is being taken on the lights for the foreseeable future (i.e. they stay) until the Council decide what plans they have for Forest Hill Road and surrounding roads generally.

Isn't this the answer dbboy?


Without wanting to pre-judge the outcome of this consultation, i'd hazard a guess that it's extremely unlikely these lights will be moved - they look pretty permanent to me!

They might be on holiday from checking all threads on public forums just incase input is

Demanded. They have ward surgeries why not goto one, or pm someone.

I can now update that the consultation is due to start in 3-4 months (not much info, but this is what I have been told by council officers, zero details so far), this will be on the lights and various other measures for Forest Hill Rd to sort out crossing, speeding etc.

If the whole road is to be reviewed - fine. If it's just the Colyton Road lights - get rid of them. Traffic flow has been far worse and, in consequence, more dangerous including high speed rat runs.


A comprehensive review looking at the needs of road users (cars & motor bikes & cycles & buses), pedestrians, shops and residents on Forest Hill Road and adjacent roads should / could come up with a far better solution than the current mess.

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription.
