Dear Petitioner
Thank you for the petition submitted on the Change.org website about Catford Road.
The Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) were deeply saddened by the tragedy in Catford on 30 October and all our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died. TfL is also aware of the collision that happened nearby the previous day and is assisting the police investigations into both incidents.
It is unacceptable that anyone should lose their life on London’s roads. The Mayor’s Vision Zero approach drives our commitment to eliminating all death or serious injuries from London’s roads by 2041. Last year, as part of Vision Zero, TfL introduced a commitment to “Go Look See” at the site of every fatal collision that happens on its road network. During these visits, engineers, road danger reduction and borough officers carry out observations of the condition and layout of the road and look for any road user behaviour that may have been a contributory factor. This process is not part of the formal investigation but helps capture recommendations for action. TfL visited the site in Catford on 4 November, alongside Lewisham Council officers. As an immediate response, TfL is considering whether interim safety measures such as improved signage, improved maintenance of the subway and renewals of the yellow box junction at the junction of Ravensbourne Park would be purposeful.
In the medium-term, as you state in your petition, TfL is working with Lewisham Council on a scheme to reduce road danger in Catford town centre as part of the borough’s Masterplan for Catford. Proposals for the scheme include segregated cycle lanes, new pedestrian crossings and realignment of the South Circular (A205). Design options are now being developed and TfL plans to consult on proposals in 2020 in line with the public consultation for Lewisham Council’s Masterplan. TfL is currently investigating how delivery of the scheme could be brought forward.
The fatality on 30 October took place just outside of the area that is currently in scope for the town centre scheme. However, in light of this tragedy, TfL and Lewisham will review the scope of their joint work to see if it can include the junction of Catford Road with the junction of Ravensbourne Park to ensure proposals are fit for purpose and implemented as quickly as possible.
Yours sincerely
