Local Labour councillors have been campaigning for better road safety measures in Larkhall ward - and their hard work has paid off, with work beginning this month. 20 mph zones help reduce road deaths and accidents, and Larkhall Labour councillors have been pushing for all local residential roads to be included.
Cllr Neeraj Patil is delighted that the work is to begin: "We lobbied very hard for a 20mph zone in our ward. Many residents had complained about the speed of traffic and noise pollution due to the traffic, especially along Union Road and Guaden Road. We submitted a petition to Lambeth Council calling for action, and we're delighted that they have listened to our arguments. We look forward to work beginning very soon."
After consulting with local residents, Lambeth have agreed to install 15 sets of sinusoidal humps and speed cushions, along with extra signage at key junctions, to reduce the speed of the vehicles along many of the roads between Clapham Road and Wandsworth Road.
Roads covered by the zone include Union Road, Gauden Road, Chelsham Road, Bromfelde Road, Sibella Road, Larkhall Rise, Jeffreys Road, Kelman Close, Albion Avenue, Smedley Street, Union Grove and Killyon Road.
