Taunton Road Residents Vote to Join CPZ

We've just had notification of the results of the public consultation to develop a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in Taunton Road. 38 questionnaires were returned (representing a 51% response), with 20 respondents in favour, 15 against, and one apparently stated no preference. We don't as yet have a date for when the CPZ will be implemented.

Free Cycling in Lewisham Map

Lewisham Council has published a new map for cyclists.

The map, called simply ‘Cycling in Lewisham’, shows the routes of quieter roads, routes through green areas, and cycle lanes throughout the borough.

Lewisham is also offering free two-hour cycle lessons, delivered by a professional cycling instructor, to anyone living, working or studying in the borough. Participants will receive one-to-one training tailored to their needs, plus advice on safety and bicycle maintenance.

To order a free copy of the map, call 020 8314 2270 or email transport@lewisham.gov.uk

Information on how to book a free lesson can be found at: http://www.cyclinginstructor.com/
