Asked Of:
The Mayor
Question
Does the Mayor acknowledge the potential community severance, social deprivation and discrimination issues affecting Waddon estate residents as a result of TfL's ongoing decision not to provide surface-level pedestrian crossings on Duppas Hill Road, Croydon? Is he concerned that many pedestrians avoid subways whenever possible, regard them as no-go areas after dark, and that in particular women and older people can find them very intimidating? In view of this, can the Mayor ask TfL to re-examine how a surface-level pedestrian crossing could be provided in the vicinity of the existing subway, and to consult local residents for their views on the existing subway and the possible alternatives?
