Our Objectives
London's streets and neighbourhoods are changing fast. Our city is promoting healthy streets & neighbourhoods and the Mayor of London's target is 80% of journeys in London will be either pedestrian, cycling or public transport. We are local residents and businesses who we would like to help shape these developments in our neighbourhood. We are finding out what people's priorities are and what possible solutions could look like for Brockley.
Please find a copy of the TFL and Mayor of London framework document here.
The Brockley Society supports the Brockley Better Streets initiative to help create positive change for the benefit of all residents and visitors to Brockley:
Increase road safety for everybody inside and around the Brockley Conservation Area.
Give priority to cyclists, pedestrians and public transport.
Reduce pollution from traffic going through the area.
Emphasize the residential nature of Brockley and prevent the use of our streets as rat-runs by non-local traffic.

So many
reasons to
change something
Brockley is a beautiful place to live. But currently too much space is given to non-residential traffic and our streets are being used as rat-runs by too many vehicles such as vans, lorries, minicabs and even coaches and HGVs. Most of this traffic is not local and our residential streets become shortcuts which results in a wide range of negative consequences for air quality, road safety and noise. Currently too much priority is given to motorised vehicles and far too little to pedestrians, children and cyclists. We would like to change this.
