Lewisham to Catford walking and cycling changes

Consultation has concluded

In September 2020 we introduced temporary changes along the A21 between Catford and Lewisham, to encourage people to walk and cycle and to improve bus journey times. We recently decided to keep these changes as part of an experiment, to trial the scheme for up to 18 months. We hope that they will encourage more people to walk and cycle in this area

We want to know your views and experiences of these changes. We are holding a six-month consultation on the A21 Lewisham to Catford experimental scheme. You can reply by following the link to the survey below. We

Why we made these changes

This section of A21 is a key bus corridor for traffic and in the top 10% in terms of bus usage. For the section of the A21 between Lewisham and Catford, around 50% of the trips made are less than 10km in length, so there is a significant potential for additional people to cycle here.

There have been a large number of collisions along the A21 involving a number of vulnerable people. In the year before we introduced the temporary scheme, there were 51 collisions on this section in which people were injured.
