Caroline Pidgeon is supporting a campaign to protect pedestrian safety along the south circular as it passes through Dulwich.
Last month Transport for London (TfL), posted notices that they planned to remove pedestrian safety railings outside the entrance to Belair Park, West Dulwich train station, and the traffic junctions outside Dulwich College.
Many local residents believe that the removal of these railings at the entrance to a public park well used by local families and a key route for children to walk to Dulwich College and nursery schools would have put at risk pedestrian safety.
This week Cllr Lewis Robinson presented to Caroline a petition signed by 100 local residents who support keeping the railings. Caroilne will now be presenting the petition to the Mayor and the Chair of Transport for London.
The Dulwich Safer Routes to School campaign have also written in support of the campaign to keep the railings.
Commenting on the need for Transport for London to think again and retain the railings, Caroline said:
"It is all very well for Transport for London to want to declutter our streets but this needs to be done in a sensible way. Removing railings by Belair Park and local schools, by a dangerous junction just makes no sense and makes the area less safe for everyone."
