Pedestrian Crossing on Queen's Road

Our community needs a new pedestrian crossing on Queen's Road, near to York Grove and St Mary's Road.

Queen's Road is very busy and can be difficult and dangerous to cross. There is currently a large gap (0.2 miles or 321 metres) between the crossing next to Queen's Road Station and the one on Lausanne Road.  This gap is too big for a residential area with lots of pedestrians needing to get from one side to the other. The crossings currently provided are not a natural walking route for people coming to and from Nunhead station or anyone using York Grove, Astbury Road or St Mary's Road and the surrounding area. This is also an area with multiple schools with lots of children needing to cross the road here on a daily basis. There have been many accidents and near misses at this spot as it is a dangerous place to cross.

Queen's Road is a 'red route' overseen and maintained by Transport for London (TfL).

We are calling on TfL and the Mayor of London to fund and deliver a safe crossing over Queen's Road, near to York Grove and St Mary's Road. This demand is supported by our local Assembly Member, Marina Ahmad AM and our local Labour Councillors to make our community safer for pedestrians.
