Lewisham Centre Redevelopment Planning Application – Wholly unsatisfactory for cyclists

They may claim they are improving connections but we believe that, for people on cycles, these plans for the redevelopment of the Lewisham Centre are incoherent, badly thought through and unnecessarily restrictive.

Here we are talking about families, the elderly,… Read More »Lewisham Centre Redevelopment Planning Application – Wholly unsatisfactory for cyclists

Catford to Forest Hill (C2FH) walking and cycling route update March 2024

The original proposal to create a walking and cycling route from the Waterlink Way just south of Catford to Forest Hill via Elm Lane goes back to 2014.  The most direct route between Catford and Forest Hill is the South Circular road which is heavily trafficked at most times of the day and very inhospitable for walking and cycling.
