News on Catford Town Centre
Back to newsDivided by the south circular road
Everyone agrees it’s not pleasant to walk or cycle along this major road and many have tales of just how dangerous it is to cross. With agreement from Transport for London (TfL), we’re now planning to reroute this major road behind Laurence House, unlocking a huge area of land for new shops, homes and public space and making the town centre a safer and more enjoyable space for everyone.
#Catfordconversation“Right turn into Doggett Road is dangerous.”“Widen Catford Bridge.” “Cars ignore no right turn.” “Crossing Catford Road is dangerous.”Getting permission to move this major road has taken many years and we now have a unique opportunity to model the town centre around the new layout. We’ve been asking people for their views on the south circular as it is at the moment - the pinch points for traffic, safe and unsafe crossing points and how it feels as a road user, bus passenger, cyclist or pedestrian. Take a look at what they’re saying and join in by sharing your thoughts on the map .
