High street in Lewisham could be pedestrianised daily under new plans
Briefly

Lewisham Council's draft proposal seeks to permanently close part of Deptford High Street to vehicles daily, based on extensive community input over two years. A significant survey indicated strong public support for pedestrianisation, with 93% of respondents either walking or cycling to the area. The plans include safety enhancements, better waste management, new greenery, and designated spaces for community activities. The council is committed to addressing immediate safety concerns and ensuring the changes foster a more welcoming environment for shopping and social interaction.
The proposed pedestrianisation of Deptford High Street aims to enhance community space and accessibility, reflecting residents' desires after extensive consultations and surveys.
Feedback from diverse community stakeholders has directly shaped the proposal, ensuring the design meets the needs of both businesses and residents for better public space.
