This is the pdf version of the plan.


https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/ivanhoe-road-safety-improvements/supporting_documents/LBSMWIVANHOE_RD900110001%20revC%20master%20plan%20091221.pdf


First impressions are

1. The planting on the corner of Malfort Road will obstruct the vision of cyclists and cars turning out of Malfort Road onto Ivanhoe Road and is an accident waiting to happen.

2. The junction at Avondale Rise will be set back obscuring the sightlines for cyclists and cars trying to exit Avondale Rose onto Ivanhoe Road again creating the potential for an accident to happen (compounded by trees planted directly in the sightlines along Ivanhoe Road)


I have to question the safety factor of this proposal as it makes the exits from two roads potentially more dangerous by restricting sight lines.


It feels like someone has designed this without actually visiting the site to see what impact it will have on exiting the junctions.

    • The stop outside the chippy was still closed earlier today, although the barriers I saw yesterday have been removed, so no need for the closure.  The stop outside the church across the road is now uncovered and open
    • You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose. 
    • @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?  
    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
