Regarding this project https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/roads-and-transport/our-traffic-reduction-programme-healthy-neighbourhoods Please advise, regarding the Lee Green project (https://streetbuilder.io/lewishamandleegreen/blog?share=draft-trial-location-map) that is due to be trialled in 2020: 1. Whether TfL is supplying all of the funding for the trail and final scheme. 2. How much funding TfL has budgetted to spend on the trial and final scheme 3. If TfL is sharing the cost with any other bodies, how much are those bodies contributing 3. The number of vehicles that currently use Manor Park and Manor Lane per day or week (which ever is easier for you to give me) and the number of vehicles that are expected to use these roads (per equivalent day or week) under the proposed plans according to traffic monitoring and modelling.

Regarding this project: https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/roads-and-transport/our-traffic-reduction-programme-healthy-neighbourhoods

Please advise, regarding the Lee Green project (https://streetbuilder.io/lewishamandleegreen/blog?share=draft-trial-location-map that is due to be trialled in 2020:

1. Whether TfL is supplying all of the funding for the trail and final scheme.

    

    

   Yes TfL is supplying all of the funding for the trial and final scheme. Under section 159 of the GLA Act 1999 financial assistance can be provided by TfL to the London Boroughs and other relevant authorities to support local transport improvements that accord with the Mayors Transport Strategy goals and outcomes. The scheme meets with the objectives set out in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy and is included in their Local Implementation Plan where the borough sets out is objectives over the next three years (2019-2021).

    

    

2. How much funding TfL has budgetted to spend on the trial and final scheme.

    

    

   The borough is allocated a yearly defined amount under the LIP Corridors programme. It is the borough decision as to how the funding is spent however the schemes/projects must meet the outcomes in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. The borough has allocated for the trial scheme a budget of £250,000 (including outline and detailed design, one off purchasing of trial equipment and project management)

    

   Depending on the success of the trial the borough has allocated an outline budget of £250,000 + for the permanent scheme.

    

    

3. If TfL is sharing the cost with any other bodies, how much are those bodies contributing.

No other bodies are contributing to this scheme.

1. The number of vehicles that currently use Manor Park and Manor Lane per day or week (whichever is easier for you to give me) and the number of vehicles that are expected to use these roads (per equivalent day or week) under the proposed plans according to traffic monitoring and modelling.

Please see attached data for the two roads you’ve asked about which are taken from traffic surveys carried out by the London Borough of Lewisham (LB Lewisham). Column B shows the daily totals over a week long period in March 2019.

                                                                                                                                                

With regard to expected traffic flows on these two roads, we have a paper copy of the Lewisham Healthy Neighbourhoods Traffic Modelling report (70050097) dated 24^th October 2019. The report mentions (page 9) that a few local roads will have increased traffic flow. These include:

• Manor Park – northbound and southbound, increases by 145 pcu/hour in the AM & PM. The report indicates that this a flow difference greater than 100%. Actual existing flows are not provided.
• Manor Lane – southbound, increases by 70 pcu/hour in the AM & PM. The report indicates that this a flow difference greater than 100%..

Since this report was produced Lewisham’s proposals have changed and there are now additional measures planned for the network which would mean fewer vehicles using the roads above.

Note this information was not produced by Transport for London and as far as we are aware this modelling has not been audited. You may wish to approach LB Lewisham for more information and explanation on this data: https://lewisham.gov.uk/.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

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
