Hillsboro Road closure

[fbwick]

Hi, has anyone else received the notification that Hillsboro Road is to be closed to traffic during peak school hours? The letter has come from Alleyns and not the council. I?ve taken a look at the council website and can?t see any information about it. Can anyone shed any light?

Yes it is true - notice at this link.it's an experimental traffic order.

(And yes it should refer to east dulwich grove rather than east dulwich road)

That's good news!

Hopefully this will provide a safe alternative route to cycling along east dulwich grove at school times and a link through to the closure in the village from the filtered streets in east dulwich - great news!

Great! That road has needed a School Street for a long time.

[Rockets]

All the school streets are very welcome.

[legalalien]

Agree. Not sure they?ll make great alternative cycle routes for adults though- post Covid I imagine they?ll be packed with parents / carers/ children having a pre and post pick up gossip!

[northernmonkey]

they'll be great for the school run (ie beyond that point) though - but nothing more as the timing is very limited.

Very intersting that you have received the info from Alleyns but not from Southwark.

Close the South Circular for Dulwich College, Dulwich Prep, Oakfield and Rosemead?????

I ditched my car over lockdown. The anti car rhetoric is a little tiresome - unless there?s a good alternative.

We should all stop car use and switch to driverless pods which roam Autonomously ready to get called!

I have no issue with it being turned into a school street, just thought it was odd that this was the first I had heard of it and given that it turns my road into the drop off point for Alleyn?s parents it would have been polite to be informed. Incidentally, the signs they have put up say no entry except access. The letter makes it clear that there will be no entry for access either

There were planning notifications on the lampposts for a couple of weeks prior to it starting and then got a letter from Alley's a week before.

No idea why no letters from the council on that - doesn't sound right that comms only come from Alleyns, but hopefully its all self explanatory now and working well?

I for one absolutely love it being a school street, its transformed cycling over there and provides a safer alternative to East Dulwich Grove for us.
