TfL Ref: FOI-1325-2021

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 12th October 2020 asking for information about the traffic lights and crossing at Purley Way, Croydon, CR0 4FE.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. 

Specifically you asked:

Can you please confirm when the traffic lights/crossing outside Harris Primary Academy Purley Way (Propeller Crescent, CR0 4FE) are scheduled to be operational.

We are unable to provide an exact date for when the signals will become operational. Before TfL can turn on the traffic signals the right turn from Propeller Crescent requires a “traffic order” to be put in place. This has to be done by Croydon Council as the road belongs to them. Subject to the traffic order being completed - along with the statutory eight week advertising/consultation period - we are hoping to be in a position to turn on the signals in December. However, in current circumstances we are not able to confirm this date as it relies on the traffic order being raised by the Council.

If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely,

David Wells
