Melbourne Grove Closure

[maddison]

Hi all,

I might be a little late to the party but does anyone know why the end of Melbourne Grove was closed off? I get it to an extent why the other roads were closed off since they were residential, but surely Melbourne Grove should not of been closed off because of the shops and the school. Wouldn't that also affect the businesses as well?

Have a look at the Melbourne Grove South CPZ. Southwark decided to make MG North a CPZ and then an LTN. Now they are also making the rest of MG, and few other streets a CPZ this coming October, despite a majority against in the last consultation.

The details on process are a bit unclear. Wording in a document on the matter I viewed online in June stated the new reduced CPZ would be subject to statutory consultation. So far there has been no further consultation but Cllt Charlie Smith recently announced it had all been agreed. If anyone can explain, I'd be grateful.

Anyway, reasons for blocking the road are all part of this grand scheme.

Yes, used to love visiting Melbourne Grove residents and the local shops but that’s all in the past now due to road closures etc! Labour run councils do not listen to local people. Just look at what has happened during the past 4/5 years in Dulwich Village. Like a ghost town now!

You are still able to walk to both.  Or cycle.  Or if you really have to drive, you can park near by.

like where? I need different permits for different streets and with the road closure, I can't park anywhere on melbourne grove since there is no space

Not to mention the traffic too. When I go home I have to go the whole way around for a reason that is still unknown to this day! I want to meet the one person who wanted an LTN
