Street Improvements

We are consulting on whether to make the Oval to Stockwell Triangle LTN permanent. If we do decide to make the scheme permanent, we will need to upgrade the current closure locations from the temporary planters to more long-term infrastructure that is durable, attractive and contributes to making Lambeth more climate resilient.

Permanent Visualisation

We have created have created a visualisation of what permanent changes could look like. It is important to note these are only visualisations and are subject to change and further refinement. This could be an opportunity to introduce more greenery, seating and public art into the space. We are open to ideas and will need the community to share their feedback and ideas to help design these spaces with us.

Phase 1 concept designs:

At the bottom of the page are concept designs for Richborne Terrace & Albert Square within the Oval to Stockwell LTN. We would develop and implement these, along with other locations in phases depending on the outcome of the consultation. The designs above would be the first to be implemented in phase 1. There will be further engagement on future phases:

Your Streets, Your Way

The Your Streets, Your Way competition looked to harness the creativity of residents by asking them to transform their local environment. The competition sought a community-led vision to improve the borough for both people and the planet. In Oval, three locations were selected that community members were asked to submit design proposals for:

The winning designs are now being developed, with construction intended to commence from winter this year.

Street Audits

We’re working to reduce traffic on our streets but also how we can improve the experience of travelling around neighbourhoods for people from every walk of life. To help us get started we are reviewing all the streets within our Low Traffic Neighbourhoods’ (LTNs) against a set of key indicators such as accessibility, lighting, cycle parking and seating. We have also ran three digital consultations to help us shape proposals, these are:

1) Brixton Liveable Neighbourhood

2) LB Lambeth Covid-19 response

3) Oval LTN

We have provided a snapshot below of some of the main issues and ideas you have identified to help us improve our streets from the commonplace consultations. We will be using this data, along with conversations and correspondence carried out as part of community engagement work during and before this consultation, to bring together a list of improvements for all our LTN areas, regardless of traffic filters, which will be built in 2022.
