• 1. Consultation

Pr Process ess

• Officers from GLA, LBC and TfL reviewed all comments made

during the public consultation;

• Comments that would have led to a change of scope, or a

departure from the agreed objectives, were discounted as part of this project (and passed on to relevant departments as appropriate);

• The rest was used to review and amend if necessary the

proposals;

• Responses to all comments received were circulated 4th Sep (and

again on 1st Oct 2013).

• “To calm and reduce, but not eliminate, the flow of traffic through the area. This

would mean redirecting and restricting through traffic to Croydon and other areas.” > Out of scope

• “We do not believe that the elimination of bus stops from South End is viable.”

> Retain bus stops

• “The Council should impose a commitment on businesses whose shop fronts are

being improved to on-going maintenance of their properties to prevent future deterioration and reversion to their present run down state.” > The agreements reached with the property owners and businesses for building frontage improvement will include a requirement to retain and maintain the works for a minimum of 5 years (confirms approach undertaken by the council)
