Supporting pedestrian safety at Dulwich Common

Deputy Chair of the Transport Committee, Caroline Pidgeon AM has received a petition from College Ward Conservative Councillor Lewis Robinson calling for improvements for pedestrian safety at the notorious Dulwich Common junction with the South Circular.

Caroline has visited the site many times, including previously with Cllr Robinson and has supported his work calling for a “pedestrian phasing” onto the traffic lights at this busy junction. Many local residents believe they are “taking their life into their hands” using the existing crossing. The campaign is also supported by the Dulwich Society, which has over a thousand local members and in their latest journal said “The danger to pedestrians in this situation is very clear”.

Following the presentation of the petition Caroline met with Transport for London, along with Cllr Lewis Robinson and TfL have confirmed they are undertaking a feasibility study to consider installing a crossing.

"I am very pleased to work with Lewis and the Dulwich Society to ensure that a safe pedestrian crossing is installed at this busy and dangerous junction. Pedestrian safety comes above party politics" commented Caroline.
