As many local residents will know, the junction of Southern Avenue/ Lancaster Road has been closed under the guise of Covid 19 there is no clear reason for this action and it lacks transparency.

This approach to traffic management has failed to consider the health of pedestrians or other road users.

This change has led to significant congestion, and is likely to lead to an increase of accidents involving vehicles and pedestrians.

The traffic can go on for miles on South Norwood Hill and Penge Road. No other traffic calming measures have taken place such as changes to the traffic lights, again causing risk to pedestrians.

Another ill conceived idea by Croydon Council.

The aim of this petition is to reopen the junction, reduce congestion and make it safe again.
